ActiFormCool® can be used safely on diabetic wounds. However if the toe is black and necrotic, and there is evidence of irreversible arterial disease it is advisable to allow the digit to dessicate. If in doubt refer to the specialist vascular team as healing will be unlikely without adequate perfusion and the risk of infection is greater.
