Diabetes and diabetes related complications are a major cost burden on the healthcare system encompassing 1/5 of the overall healthcare dollars in the United States [1]. Much of the costs are related to the treatment of lower extremity wounds in the diabetic patient which accounts for 60% of all nontraumatic amputations that are performed [2]. Amputation is often preceded by a chronic ulceration. The incidence of diabetic ulcers is approximately 6% over a 3 year period [1]. Diabetic foot ulcerations are particularly challenging to heal due to a host of factors including vascular compromise, peripheral neuropathy, and begin prone to infection. Therefore, strategies to heal these wounds as quickly as possible are of paramount importance.
