Burns are among the most complex forms of injury. Unlike first-degree burn injuries, second-degree burns damage the outer layer of skin and the layer underneath. Controlling the patient’s pain level and managing the threat of infection are two major challenges for clinicians treating these types of wounds. ESWT can aid in the treatment of burn wounds by increasing perfusion and assisting epithelialization which will decrease the progression to a chronic wound.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU's) are among the most common complications of diabetes which are caused by peripheral neuropathy, small vessel occlusion, and secondary infection or trauma.
Many treatment strategies are commonly used to aid healing of DFUs, these treatment strategies often have low efficiency, potential side effects, and high costs. Even with individualized care, such as frequent repositioning, debridement, and monitored glucose control, some DFUs fail to progress through the stages of healing. ESWT is a non-invasive treatment method that can have a positive impact on healing DFUs.
Both traumatic and surgical wounds can have complications, including infection, which can cause them to be considered non-healing or complex wounds. Treating these types of wounds is a significant challenge because of underlying complexities of the wounds, an aging population, and increases in diabetes and obesity. All of these conditions contribute to abnormal wound healing leading to chronic wounds .
