| description | Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with numerous complications, including cardiovascular diseases, blindness, renal failure, and
foot ulcers, which can result in morbidity, amputation, and increased mortality rates. Present case is of a 50-year-old patient with a
Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) who underwent amputation of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes of the right foot and was managed on an outpatient
basis. A phlebotomy tourniquet was tied across the wound and gradually tightened to approximate the wound edges, facilitating
wound contraction. After 45 days of treatment, the wound had fully healed. This case suggests that using a phlebotomy tourniquet
can effectively close wounds when other techniques, such as skin grafting, are not feasible. |
