Prospective randomized controlled study of Hydrofiber® dressing containing ionic silver or calcium alginate dressings in non‐ischaemic diabetic foot ulcers

When added to standard care with appropriate off-loading, AQAg silver dressings were associated with favourable clinical outcomes compared with CA dressings, specifically in ulcer depth reduction and in infected ulcers requiring antibiotic treatment. This study reports the first significant clinical effects of a primary wound dressing containing silver on DFU healing.
