Abstract

This article describes three patients who had an episode of infected diabetic foot ulcer with osteomyelitis, and subsequently treated with a Diperoxochloric acid topical solution. Diperoxochloric acid is a new chemical entity approved in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer. It has properties to heal the wound and kill the microbes in wound, which is the need of hour. As most of the products that are available in market have either antimicrobial activity or wound growth factors, which have no action on microbes makes Diperoxochloric acid mechanism unique. All three ulcers showed positive wound contraction and reduction in size throughout the follow-up period ranging from 3 to 10 weeks. All the three patients showed positive signs of wound healing. One of the patients in whom amputation of great toe was advised also healed completely without any need of amputation.
