Abstract
- Effective management of wound exudate in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is a key component of any wound management plan and crucial to facilitate the healing of DFUs. It is important, therefore, that clinicians involved in the management of DFUs understand the role and function of wound exudate and, importantly, can recognise when exudate can become detrimental to the healing process. This article provides an overview of wound exudate, its role and constituents, and outlines current best practice in managing wound exudate to best facilitate wound healing and wound closure in DFUs.
