The VivanoTec negative pressure unit by HARTMANN is the central component of the Vivano system for successful negative pressure treatment of wounds. Its low weight means it can be used either on the move or in hospitals. Thanks to its intuitive menu navigation, the VivanoTec negative pressure unit combines easy usage with highly precise treatment settings and the necessary reliability, thus guaranteeing a high level of safety and user-friendly handling.
Dear Participant We are pleased to welcome you to the 23rd Conference of the European Wound Management Association in Copenhagen: EWMA 2013. This conference is being held in cooperation with the Danish Wound Healing Society (DSFS). EWMA 2013 is dedicated to sharing and debating the latest knowledge and developments in wound management. During the 3 exciting conference days, participants will experience a diverse programme that includes keynote sessions, free paper sessions, workshops, full-day streams, guest sessions, and sponsored satellite symposia. The conference theme, Organisation and Cooperation in Copenhagen, reflects the fact that the quintessence of successful wound management requires cooperation across several different caregiver professions as well as cooperation between caregivers and patients. This theme will be emphasised at the opening plenary session, which focuses on the importance of multidisciplinary approaches to wound care. EWMA 2013 will include new topics of importance to the European wound community as well as topics that have had huge appeal during previous EWMA conferences. The key sessions in 2013 will address several EWMA focus areas, including antimicrobials, wound care in home care settings, and patient safety aspects of wound care. Other exciting key sessions will offer presentations on regenerative medicine, nutrition, leg ulcers, diabetic foot, and evidence in wound care. Following the full-day streams will offer participants the chance to experience more in-depth presentations and discussions within a particular field. The full-day symposia topics include the Nordic Diabetic Foot Symposium (Thursday, 16 May), e-Health Day (Friday, 17 May), and the Russian Speaking Symposium (Wednesday and Thursday, 15 and 16 May). Furthermore, a symposium on wound care in resource-poor settings, which will take place on Thursday, 16 May, is one of the many highlights of this year’s conference. EWMA workshops are often interactive and provide participants with an opportunity to address and elaborate on particular aspects of the themes of the individual sessions. This year’s workshops will cover topics on debridement, dressings and topical agents, palliative care, cancer wounds, compression bandaging, maggot therapy, and pressure ulcer prevention. Thanks to abstract submissions from around the world, we assembled an extensive free paper and poster programme that offers more than 120 free paper presentations and more than 400 poster presentations. Because the EWMA is a multidisciplinary European association, the EWMA conference attracts participants from many different countries and areas of clinical expertise. Consequently, many diverse points of view on the organisation of wound management are shared every year at this conference. We will do our best to create an inspiring scientific environment in Copenhagen, as well as networking activities and opportunities to exchange data and experiences. In addition to the scientific aspects of the conference, don’t forget to experience the capital of Denmark, with its refreshing, unpretentious, and dynamic environment. A warm welcome to Copenhagen!

EWMA Document on Antimicrobials This document will meet the on-going discussion across Europe concerning the issues and controversies of the use of antimicrobials in wound treatment. The document will be launched at the EWMA 2013 Conference.
11:02
Clinical study guidelines on non healing wounds The guidelines will include a checklist with relevant research questions, frequent mistakes and links to other relevant sources of information. With these guidelines the EWMA Patient Outcome Group (POG) group aims to support the recommendations included in the EWMA document on evidence and outcomes: Outcomes in controlled and comparative studies on non healing wounds – Recommendations to improve quality of evidence in wound management
All EWMA Documents can be downloaded from www.ewma.org
Upcoming projects in 2014: Home Care – Wound Care and Multidisciplinary Treatment Home Care – Wound Care will outline a list of recommendations for the treatment of patients with wounds in their own homes. The project is an attempt to anticipate the future challenges of different European health care systems due to demographic and public health developments.
The Multidisciplinary Treatment project will promote the use of the multidisciplinary approach to wound care as well as identified any current challenges and barriers in the use of multidisciplinary teams.
Both projects are expected to be presented at the EWMA 2014 Conference in Madrid.

Session Room C3
This session is organised by the IWGDF – “the International working group on the diabetic foot”. The session will serve as an introductory session for the Nordic Diabetic foot day. The first two presentations focus on the pathophysiology of the Diabetic Foot and its consequences. The purpose of these presentations are to inform about the complexity of the pathophysiology of a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), its management and to underline the need of a interdisciplinary approach in order to achieve successful healing and to prevent lower extremity amputations (LEA). The importance of creating and the implementation process of the International consensus and practical guidelines on the management and the prevention of the diabetic foot will be stressed including also a summary on the main recommendations. Finally a presentation that gives an example of how a certification system of diabetic foot clinics has been set up in Germany, in order to support the nation wide provision of high quality diabetic foot care will be given.

Finn Gottrup Honorary lecturer of the EWMA Conference 2013 in Copenhagen Finn Gottrup: Professor in Surgery, Mentor, DMSci, MD, Specialist in Anatomy, General Surgery and Surgical Gastroenterology is a man with many titles and even more appreciation from colleagues, students, and others who work with him. This year, Finn Gottrup is awarded honorary lecturer of EWMA 2013 in Copenhagen.
Prof. Gottrup is the author of more than 400 publications, and has lectured extensively on clinical and experimental wound healing, wound infections, tissue perfusion, and oxygenation, within EWMA and to provide education in wound healing and treatment. He is recognised by a wide range of professions as Denmark’s leading expert on wounds. Prof. Gottrup is member of several national and international boards, committees, and editorial boards, an energetic lecturer for all of Denmark’s medical educations, and a regular speaker at international conferences, where he is appreciated for his high-quality presentations and broad knowledge of wound healing. In 1991, Prof. Gottrup was awarded the world’s first professorship in wound healing and he became professor of Surgery at University of Southern Denmark in 2003. Finn is what you could call a fireball. His many commitments deliver sufficient evidence for this, but there is much more to the person than his impressive merits. Passion is what propels the life work of Finn Gottrup, and passion is what makes this year’s acknowledgement extraordinarily well deserved. It is therefore my personal honour to welcome Finn Gottrup as honorary lecturer of the EWMA 2013Conference. Honorary Lecturer Finn Gottrup has earned this distinction due to his committed life work within wound healing. This includes his greatly appreciated involvement in the EWMA Council as past president, recorder, and Council member and his capacity as founder and long-serving president for this year’s local organiser, the Danish Wound Healing Society, one of oldest national wound management organisations in the world. This is the fourth time an honorary lecturer has been appointed by EWMA.
Finn Gottrup started the Copenhagen Wound Healing Center in 1996, and in 2003 he was involved in establishing the University Center for Wound Healing in Odense, Denmark. These wound healing centres have been a prime force behind Denmark’s status among the world leaders in wound management. Prof. Gottrup was head of the centres from 1996-2003 and 2003-2007, respectively. Presently, he is professor in surgery and consultant at Copenhagen Wound Healing Center.
A lot has happened since EWMA was founded in 1991. As one of the founders, Finn’s efforts were among the driving forces behind the rapid development of our association. As past president and recorder, he has been a hard-working representative of EWMA’s multidisciplinary base, which could not have been better personalised than in Finn. Finn has always guaranteed a tireless effort to include nurses, physiotherapists, foot therapists, and physicians from other areas of specialisation into the field of wound healing. Perhaps the ability to work hard and stay focused derives from being born in Jutland the western part of Denmark. It is a place well known for its honest, sympathetic, loyal, sincere, and dependable people and their interaction with the enormous North Sea. This is a place where you are bound to develop a certain perspective of yourself and the world surrounding you. Finn has realised that although he is engaged in widespread activities, they all come down to one thing in the end: the good of the patient. When you ask people close to Finn to describe him, they usually attribute typical traits of the West Coast people to his personality and career. To quote the EWMA’s immediate past president, Zena Moore: “Finn epitomises Evidence Based Practice as he always endeavours to ‘do the right thing right’”. I could not have said it more precisely myself. Jan Apelqvist, EWMA President

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE LOGO The conference logo is a composition of significant buildings in Copenhagen and the two fairy tales The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling written by the world-renowned Danish author, fairy tale writer, and poet H. C. Andersen.
The Little Mermaid “Far out in the ocean the water is as blue as the petals of the loveliest cornflower, and as clear as the purest glass. But it is very deep too. It goes down deeper than any anchor rope will go, and many, many steeples would have to be stacked one on top of another to reach from the bottom to the surface of the sea. It is down there that the sea folk live …” Throughout his entire life H. C. Andersen was fascinated by imaginative creatures and beings, which he wrote about in many of his fairytales. Fairytales like The Little Mermaid from 1836 have entertained both children and adults with its fairytale form and its eternal themes like love, life and death. Just as they have inspired musicals, cartoons and sculptures – one of the most famous examples include Disney’s cartoon about the little mermaid and Edvard Eriksen’s world-famous bronze sculpture from 1913, situated at Langeline in Copenhagen.
The Ugly Duckling “Do you think this is the whole world?” their mother asked. “Why it extends on and on, clear across to the other side of the garden and right on into the parson’s field, though that is further than I have ever been. I do hope you are all hatched,” she said as she got up. “No, not quite all. The biggest egg still lies here. How much longer is this going to take? I am really rather tired of it all,” she said, but she settled back on her nest.” In the fairytale from 1843 a little bird is born among ducks in a duck-yard. The bird is different from the others and gets picked on, but in the end of the fairytale it sees its reflection and discovers that it has become a beautiful swan. “The Ugly Duckling” became one of Andersen’s most beloved fairytales and has been published all over the world. The entire stories can be read at www.andersen.sdu.dk

SESSION descriptions Key Session descriptions Wednesday 15 May Multidisciplinarity and organisation of care (opening plenary session) 10:00 -11:30 Auditorium 10 -12 Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) are widely recommended in international prevention and treatment guidelines, particularly with regard to diabetic foot ulcers (Matricali et al, 2007). Evidence supports that the MDT-approach leads to increased quality and cost effectiveness in the treatment of many patients suffering from wounds, as well as other clinical conditions. It is important for EWMA to emphasise the positive outcomes of a multidisciplinary approach to wound care. EWMA hopes to contribute to breaking down the traditional silos within health care systems and emphasising the importance of collaboration between the clinical specialities and physicians and nurses involved in wound care. EWMA collaborates in this aim with other disease areas, such as multidisciplinary cancer groups, the Australian Wound Management Association (AWMA), and the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC). Wednesday 15 May Regenerative medicine 13:45 -15:00 Auditorium 15 This session will include an overview of the intricate cellular/intercellular or cell-matrix mechanisms and stimuli that control regenerative processes. Participants will gain insight into the dedifferentiating and regenerative potential of human cells: human cells, including new findings. The session will present an update on actual research on stem cells and translate it for application in wound healing and tissue repair. Wednesday 15 May Improving patient safety: Zero tolerance to pressure ulcers 16:45 -18:00 Auditorium 15 The session will focus on patients’ safety in general and different initiatives to improve patient safety. Participants will also gain insight into elimination of pressure ulcers and the evidence for this. This key session is planned in collaboration with The Danish Society for Patient Safety (DSFP). Wednesday 15 May Home care and wound care 16:45 -18:00 Session Room C3 The home care setting is increasingly becoming a more likely venue for the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of wounds. This session seeks to present and discuss the challenges of treating wounds in home care settings. The session may include lessons learned and contemporary examples of using information and communication technology (ICT)-assisted health care in the home care setting, as well as data catch and economical perspectives. Thursday 16 May Diabetic foot: Recent Evidence – Vascularization and Amputation 16:30 -17:30 Session Room C3 This key session is a part of the Nordic Diabetic Foot Symposium. Please see the programme updates at the symposium link. The objectives for this key session is to highlight the fact that peripheral arterial disease in ulcerated diabetic feet has long been underestimated. Progressive claudication, rest pain and the extent of irreversible tissue loss have frequently been indications for revascularization for neuroischaemic ulcers in diabetic patients. These typical ischaemic symptoms are warning signs that are less frequent in diabetic individuals with ischaemia than those without diabetes. Consequently, 30-50% of individuals with diabetes and foot ulcers already have gangrene at admission and are therefore often considered unsuitable for revascularization. Therefore, the threshold of revascularizing neuroischaemic ulcers should be lower than that of purely ischaemic ulcers. Comorbidity, ulcer characteristics and infection affect the decision as to when to intervene, as do the severity and extent of occlusive arterial lesions. The window of opportunity for vascular intervention in the neuroischaemic diabetic foot should not be missed, and the need for early vascular intervention as an integrated part of a strategy to achieve healing should be emphasized. Revascularization should be performed whenever feasible to repair distal perfusion to achieve ulcer healing.

Key Session descriptions Thursday 16 May Nutrition in wound care 16:30 -17:30 Auditorium 15 This session will enable participants to understand the role of nutrition in wound management and how to apply this knowledge in a clinical setting. You will know more about: a) assessment of nutritional status and identification of nutrition-related risk; b) impact of nutrition support and chronic wound healing; c) specific nutritional support in wound care: nutraceutics and mechanisms. Friday 17 May Antimicrobial 08:00 -09:30 Auditorium 15 Presently, there is a focus on using antimicrobials and the potential for adverse effects as the use of these products increases. It is inevitable that substantial ‘overuse’ of antimicrobials (antibiotics) will create an environment in which resistance to the products currently available and ‘superbugs’ can develop. Better understanding of the use of antimicrobials in wound care is necessary, and this need can be illustrated by discussing the controversies and issues related to the use of antimicrobials in wound care. This is the objective of the EWMA Antimicrobial Document, which will be presented at this session. Friday 17 May e-Health and the future of the healthcare system 08:00 - 09:30 Session Room C2 This key session will be a part of the e-Health Day, during which leading international experts within the field of e-Health will give an overview of where we are now and discuss how the ever-increasing use of Information and Communication Tecnologies (ICT) can be expected to affect the way health care is delivered in the future. The session will include discussion of how telemedicine has moved from local pilot projects to large-scale implementation and how e-Health is evaluated in practice using evidence-based methods. Friday 17 May Leg ulcers 13:15 -14:45 Session Room C3 This session will help participants understand the following concepts: • The ethiology and patophysiology of leg ulcerations • Differential diagnostic of chronic leg ulcers • The importance of patient education to successful self-care • Effective multidisciplinary team work in prevention and successful care of leg ulcer patients • New understanding of compression through live demonstration of what happens to wounds while patients are lying, standing, and walking during sub-bandage pressure. Friday 17 May What is good evidence in wound care and how do we generate it? 13:45 -14:45 Session Room C2 This session will cover a range of topics related to applying an evidence-based approach to research in wound care and e-Health. The emphasis will be on understanding the importance of choosing the most appropriate clinical and economic outcome measures when designing studies. The speakers will examine the difficulties associated with selecting and measuring appropriate outcomes to provide robust evidence which can be used for informing practice in wound care and for investments in large scale national telemedicine programmes. The session introduces you to an evaluation model developed specifically to evaluate complex e-Health interventions simultaneously affecting multiple aspects of care delivery. Recommendations for achieving study results that can be transferred and applied to other contexts will be discussed.

Guest Session descriptions Each year EWMA arrange exchange of conference speakers from different organisations to increase the awareness and also to learn more about activities relating to but not necessarily primarily focused on wound healing and management. This also to increase the scientific cooperation and networking with organisations active in thematic issues related to wound healing and management. At EWMA 2013 the following guest sessions are available: Wednesday 15 May European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) 13:45 -15:00 Session Room C3 About EPUAP: The “European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel” was created in London in December 1996 to lead and support all European countries in the efforts to prevent and treat pressure ulcers. At its inaugural meeting in London in December 1996, which included experts from many European countries, the group of over twenty agreed their mission statement and the initial Executive Board and Trustees. The mission statement reads: “To provide the relief of persons suffering from or at risk of pressure ulcers, in particular through research and the education of the public and by influencing pressure ulcer policy in all European countries towards an adequate patient centred and cost effective pressure ulcer care”. Title: Support Surfaces, Microclimate and Skin Conditions Speakers: Amit Gefen: Biomechanical modelling of microclimate factors and their effects on skin integrity Michael Clark: Microclimate and support surface studies (theoretical framework and factors affecting the microclimate at the skin-support interface; design of better support surfaces etc.) Jan Kottner: Microclimate and the skin barrier function Please find more information about EPUAP at: www.epuap.org Thursday 16 May Diabetic foot symposium: IWGDF session 08:00 - 09:30 Room C3 The International Working group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) was founded in 1996 to meet the need of experts in the field to create more awareness and better management for the diabetic foot patients. In 1999, IWGDF launched the first “IWGDF Consensus Guidelines on the management and prevention of the diabetic foot”. The guidelines implementation became an instant success, with a wide distribution throughout the world and translations in 26 languages. Investing in a diabetic foot care guideline is therefore one of the most cost-effective forms of healthcare expenditure, provided the guideline is goal-focused and properly implemented. Please see more information on IWDGF at: www.iwgdf.org Thursday 16 May World Alliance for Wound and Lymphoedema Care (WAWLC) 08:00 -17:30 Session Room C1 During the past few years the World Alliance for Wound and Lymphoedema Care (WAWLC) has consolidated itself as a global initiative on wound and lymphoedema management. WAWLC’s working design is showing to be a realistic formula for successfully supporting countries to develop their capacity for effective care of wound and lymphedema patients. Annual WAWLC Symposium In 2012 the WAWLC Executive decided to establish an annual WAWLC symposium. The objective is to demonstrate practical examples on wound and lymphoedema care in WWW.WAWLC.ORG resource poor settings to other wound care associations. The symposium will be a permanent annual event held together with a major international wound or lymphoedema care conference as hosting partner. WAWLC Symposium at EWMA 2013 On Thursday, May 16th, the WAWLC symposium will run as a full-day parallel session. The title of the day is Wound Care in Resource Poor Settings – Experiences from the field. The symposium is held in association with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). 44

Langelinie Pavillonen Langelinie Pavillonen, with its superb location overlooking Copenhagen harbour, its elegant architecture and its interiors, decorated with some of the very finest in Danish design, is in a class by itself. The British life-style magazine, Wallpaper, in its 2004 spring issue, acclaimed Langelinie Pavillonen as being “one of the most spectacular spots in the city. It’s a popular venue for fashion and media parties”. The lovely surroundings, the panoramic views of the harbour and the exquisite design of Arne Jacobsen’s furniture, lamps by Poul Henningsen and Verner Panton’s interiors make Langelinie Pavillonen the perfect venue for luncheons, receptions, conferences, shareholder meetings, parties and events with accommodations for up to 800 dining guests.
About Copenhagen Copenhagen has attractions and sights to suit every taste and interest – and most of them are within walking distance. The three most famous attractions in the city are: The more than 100 year old amusement park Tivoli, the statue of The Little Mermaid, and the freetown of Christiania.
EWMA 2013 COPENHAGEN 15 -17 May · 2013
But Copenhagen has a lot more to offer. With a history that dates back to 1043 the city is full of historic landmarks, significant buildings and interesting sights. Be sure to visit Amalienborg Palace – home to the royal family, do a guided canal tour on the harbour and walk down the shopping street Strøget.

Danish Wound Healing Society

DSFS The Danish Wound Healing Society (DSFS) is one of the oldest wound societies in the world – however the society is not characterised by old men and governesses. Renewed strength keeps the association on track and contributes to its most central aspect: to strengthen correct and effective wound treatment in the country. The society remains the only central provider of new knowledge and practical skills within the wound area. Through its history DSFS has focused on developing the model which is now the widely accepted model for effective wound healing in the world: a multidisciplinary and intersectoral wound department including specialised wound nurses, dermatologists, vascular surgeons, plastic surgeons, podiatrists and orthotists which organizes wound management and shares knowledge across the country.
The DSFS Pressure Ulcer Lady for education purpose
INSTRUCTIONS, GUIDELINES AND COMMUNICATION TOOLS DSFS has produced a series of booklets which, in a concentrated and accessible form, provides best practice guidance for nurses and doctors with regards to diagnosis and treatment of wounds. In collaboration with the industry the society has published a wound pain algorithm that provides an easy tool for improved patient dialogue. The objective is to understand the causes of wound pain and thereby achieve quality in wound as well as pain management. The algorithm involves the patient in the healing process and may thereby shorten the treatment time as pain potentially prolongs the healing period. The association has also developed a wound algorithm with brief advice and guidance on wound diagnosis and treatment. A Doppler guide explains how to measure an ankle/arm index with the objective to assess whether the patient has signs of arterial insufficiency or whether the leg can endure compression therapy. These guidelines and algorithms are designed in handy, foiled formats, ready for daily use, and can be downloaded from the association’s website: www.saar.dk. This also applies, for example, to the presentation of EPUAP’s guidelines for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. 64
The Danish Health Care system Health care systems in Scandinavia, including the Danish system, are primarily public (private treatment only covers approximately 5% of inpatient beds). In the secondary sector, all health-care investigations, drugs and devices are offered free of charge to the patients. In the primary sector different reimbursement policies regarding drugs and devices exist. This means that only a very small part of the health care budget is covered by private insurance or consumer payment.
NATIONAL EFFORTS AGAINST PRESSURE ULCERS The most recent initiative has been to fight pressure ulcers throughout the country. Investigations show a significant spread in the prevalence data for pressure ulcers. According to these data 13 to 43% of the hospitalised patients in Denmark develop a pressure ulcer to a mild or more severe degree and sources indicate that up to 50% of these wounds develop after hospitalisation. The effectiveness of this initiative is shown in preliminary data from selected hospitals which, based on the dedicated efforts of the staff, have succeeded in completely preventing the development of pressure ulcers. By these efforts a set of common rules and scales for the assessment and description of pressure ulcers are established which then result in common efforts to fight pressure ulcers. As part of the initiative all regions were required to report on the development of pressure ulcers. As expressed by the head of the national campaign “We can reduce the number and we will reduce the number of pressure ulcers”.
The most recent initiative has been to fight pressure ulcers throughout the country.
DSFS organises seminars and conferences on opportunities within e-Health treatment. Here you see wound treatment by photo transfer via mobile phone.
MUNICIPALITIES AND REGIONS UPGRADE
KNOWLEDGE AND VISIONS
– also with regards to use of it and telemedicine Activities are initiated all over Denmark with very good results. For example, the municipalities of Viborg and Køge have, for several years, worked hard to eliminate pressure ulcers. In Køge they have succeeded in reducing the incidence to 0.26 per 1000 inhabitants, compared to the national average of 0.7 per 1000. In the municipality of Viborg the incidence of pressure ulcers has decreased by 23.7% from 2010 to 2011. The efforts of the municipalities will focus on new workflows, bedside training, education of wound care nurses, networking and e-learning. A part of this endeavor is the development of measurement tools with web-based e-learning portals that allow the staff to measure development in the wound area: how many wounds are there, which types, how long is the healing period, etc. This type of tool enables comparisons, identifies areas that require attention and supports e-learning activities related to wound management. There are great opportunities in that direction once the general level of IT skills amongst groups of staff are raised. This also relates to the use of telemedicine which currently attracts many resources in Denmark and which the Danish Government is confident will lead to savings of financial resources as well as inconveniences for municipalities and patients. The government is expecting a saving potential of approximately 330 millions DKK (44.3 mill EUR) once the technology has been implemented.
DSFS supports important research within wounds, encouraging theses and PhD dissertations to be written on key issues within wound management, such as bacterial biofilms, treatment with maggots, the influence of tobacco smoking on wound healing, cancer wounds and honey and about growth factors in wound healing. The latest research results are presented regularly at DSFS meetings. As the latest acquisition DSFS has initiated a study on the communication between wound practitioners in the primary and secondary sectors and an assessment of the communication flow between practitioners and wound patients. The study will be presented at the Danish Day at the EWMA 2013 conference.
Within one area, however, the association has so far been stranded. This concerns the involvement of general practitioners in the prevention and treatment of wounds. In practice wounds are most often only seen and evaluated by consultation nurses and only in a few municipalities has the cooperation between home care and general practitioners been running smoothly so far. The board of DSFS is paying close attention to the development within this area.
A vital part of the dissemination of knowledge is the magazine “SÅR”. This is published four times a year. New initiatives, new ways to organize care and learning, scientific papers and minutes of meetings and conferences in Denmark and abroad are permanent features in the magazine. The Norwegian Wound Healing Society, NIFS, is a co-producer of the magazine and provides similar information from the Norwegian wound management society. The magazine has a background in the benevolent support from the wound care companies in relation to the DSFS conferences and advertising in the magazine. Improving wound management is not necessary cost demanding. By gathering resources and adding quality in order to avoid development, improvements in non-healing ulcers can be achieved and expenses to the public health care budget reduced. Diabetic foot ulcers will, especially in the years to come, require significant attention as the number of diabetics is expected to grow explosively. DSFS has plenty of things to take care of...
