International Conference in Abu Dhabi Reveals Technology for Treating Diabetic Foot

The International Conference of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies continued its sessions in Abu Dhabi, featuring doctors, experts, and specialists in wound care from various countries around the world.

The conference, which runs until tomorrow, Saturday, discussed the latest advancements in modern technologies and best practices in wound treatment and patient care.

The event showcased the (DermaSense) technology, a modern solution made from oxidized water, used for treating clinical ulcers, diabetic foot, and wounds. It has proven effective in treating thousands of diabetic foot patients globally, thus saving them from amputations.

Recent clinical studies related to the technology that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Health and Environmental Protection Agency, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, and the Ministry of Health in the UAE were presented. These studies demonstrate its ability to protect against "gangrene" and limb amputation.

This technology converts water into a solution for disinfecting skin and wounds, as well as removing dead tissue from wounds. It effectively kills a wide range of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and germs.

Safa Qadumi, director of (Micosif Group), responsible for (DermaSense) technology, mentioned that the technology is alcohol-free and does not contain chemicals, making it safe for the skin and non-irritating or allergenic.

During her presentation at the conference, she explained its application on clinical ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, and injuries from accidents, noting that it is safe for use on exposed tissues, organs, and bones.

Rami Jumaa, director of the Wound Care Department at (Abu Dhabi International Medical Services), stated that (DermaSense) is approved in most wound care clinics in UAE hospitals for its effectiveness in preventing and treating acute and chronic wound infections. It is also considered safe and easy to use for medical and nursing staff.

The conference aims to highlight the importance of providing the best wound care to preserve limbs and protect patients' lives, in addition to raising awareness about protecting diabetic patients from ulcers and foot wounds.

It emphasized the need for awareness in preventing wounds by developing effective programs, training specialists in wound care, and adopting effective initiatives to combat diabetic foot infections.

Participants exchanged their experiences and clinical studies related to wound care, nutrition science, dermatology, orthopedic surgery, vascular surgery, general surgery, and cosmetic surgery.
