The challenge of preventable amputations
Every 45 seconds, a diabetic foot is amputated worldwide¹, and about 85% of these amputations are preventable². This leads to a patient that costs about 5.4x more for the healthcare system - worldwide, US$322 billion in 2021, and whose mortality is comparable to cancer³.Reference 1: Fakorede FA.
