Diabetic foot ulcers represent an increase in recent years in the cures to be carried out by nursing staff. For this reason, the new negative pressure therapy has been chosen, which involves an increase in granulation tissue, leading to complete healing in a minimum time, highlighting the few complications derived from said therapy.
