Can Kerraboot be used on patients with black toes?
Possibly but in these cases there should be vascular intervention first. The patient requires full vascular assessment i.e. arterial duplex scan/ angiogramme and intervention if necessary such as angioplasty/bypass and amputation/debridement of necrotic tissue. If there is microvascular involvement with no macrovascular complications (PVD/PAD) then the wound requires debridement to healthy tissue. The patient is then suitable for management with Kerraboot until the ulcer has fully healed.
