Clinical Case Studies in Managing Diabetic Foot Ulcers by Using Stabilised Hypochlorous Acid Wound Cleaning and Irrigation Solution

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are an increasingly health concern and pose a significant burden on healthcare providers and patients equally. Managing this chronic wound needs to take into consideration the choice of wound care solution that is not only effective but also provides a safe healing environment without causing any adverse effects on healing tissues. This case series focuses on the use of stabilized super-oxidised hypochlorous acid in wound cleaning, debridement and irrigation in the managing of DFUs and assessing of the wound healing progress. A total of three patients with diabetic foot ulcer were subjected to wound cleansing using stabilised super- oxidised hypochlorous acid solution throughout the study period, detailing wound progression, treatment protocols, and healing outcomes. Results show that the use of stabilised HOCl (Hypochlorous acid) wound irrigation solution prevented risk of infection in these chronic wounds thus allowing natural wound healing to take place without any adverse effects. These findings support the integration of HOCl-based wound care into standard DFU treatment practices. Adherence to follow-up care and complete wound management strategies is crucial, and the positive outcome seen in these cases highlights the potential relevance of stabilised super-oxidised HOCl wound cleaning solution in the management of diabetic foot ulcers.
