Results
After only 2 weeks of treatment with Lavior Diabetic Wound Gel and trilayer compression dressing, the ulcer resolved with high patient satisfaction.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates the successful wound healing effects of a plant-based supercharged hydrogel in a chronic wound that was refractory to other popular and costly treatments. The plant-based hydrogel has been shown to promote vascularization of the wound, elicit anti-toxic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties, amd improve quality of life while reducing pain severity scores in patients presenting with complicated and variously sized diabetic wounds. Considering the crucial role of cytokine dysregulation in various pathological conditions, including but not limited to diabetic ulcers, the discovery of new therapies that are safe, effective, accessible, affordable, and that have anti-inflammatory properties while exhibiting expedited healing is of great importance
