Objective To study the clinical effect of silver dressing combined with foam dressing in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Methods Sixty patients with diabetic foot ulcer treated between January 2014 and January 2015 were selected to be randomly divided into experimental group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Patients in the experimental group (n=30) were treated with silver dressing combined with foam dressing which was changed every other day, while patients in the control group (n=30) were treated with 0.1% rivanol gauze and dressing was changed every day. The clinical effcacy of the two groups were compared and analyzed, and the wound closure index and recurrence rate were also analyzed. Results The total effective rate of the experimental group was 96.7%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (80.0%) (P<0.05), and the wound closure indexes of the experimental group on day 21 [(81.87±4.81)%] and day 28 [(97.28±3.11)%] after the beginning of treatment was significantly higher than those of the control group [(64.06±3.03)%, (86.93±6.11)%] (P<0.05), and the recurrence rate within half a year after treatment of the experimental group was 13.0%, significantly lower than that of the control group (40.0%) (χ2=4.083, P=0.043). Conclusion Compared with traditional wound treatment, silver dressing combined with foam dressing in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers has advantages with better curative effect, less pain and lower recurrence rate. It is worth clinical promoting.
