Can you tell me if there are any special bandages to help a diabetic ulcer heal?

Yes: There is a product called dermagraft that can help diabetic foot ulcers heal.

Yes: There are several topical dressings that have been shown to accelerate wound healing time. Seeing a vascular surgeon or a wound clinic would be in your best interest.

Special bandages.: There are different types of bandages available depending on the type of wound, location of the wound, and amount of drainage from the wound. Consult your physician to see which would be the best for the type of ulcer that you are treating.

Diabetic foot: You need to seek care from wound center or podiatrist as soon as possible. The evaluation of a diabetic foot ulcer requires a careful history, investigation of your neurological status of your feet, an assessment of the blood flow, and a comprehensive treatment plan that may include debridement, cultures, offloading (which is the most important issue most of the time), and testing. Do not delay!
