Answer # 1 #

Typically, wound dressings impregnated with antimicrobial agents are used. Simple gauze may actually damage the skin. Alginate and foam dressings provide high absorbency for moderate to heavy exudate. For a diabetic foot ulcerwith dying tissue, hydrogels or dressings with collagen and silver are most effective.
