Description
Summary:Diabetes is a serious pathology with a great number of complications, the “diabetic foot”, an anatomic and functional alteration with serious alteration of skin and function, constitutes a serious problem in this pathology. Maintaining in a good healthy state the epidermis is very important. A new medical device based on a delivery system with microcapsule and with a cosmetic ingredient has been verified on 20 patients. The microcapsules adopted in the device contain a glycoprotein derived by an Antarctic bacterium. All the patients have shown a definite improvement of the degree of cutaneous keratosis and state of epidermis. A photographic documentation has been realized.
