Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test therapeutic benefits of silver dressing compared with non-silver dressing in NPWT(Negative pressure wound therapy). Silver dressing may antibacterial effect on infected diabetes mellitus foot.
Detailed Description
Investigator will recruit sixty patients. Participant will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One is using silver dressing group in NPWT, another is using non-silver dressing group in NPWT. Participant will visit in screening day, NPWT apply day and F/u day for 4 months. Investigators will conduct to check the wound base, Lab, wound culture.
