Study hypothesis
1. The primary objective is to test whether modern dressings are more clinical effective than traditional dressings in the treatment of diabetes related foot ulcers. The dressings to be compared will be: a simple, traditional non-adherent preparation (N-A), a widely used modern antiseptic preparation (Inadine), and a new hydrofibre preparation of higher unit cost (Aquacel). All three dressings are widely used in clinical practices in the UK.
2. To investigate changes in ulcer size, condition and reoccurrence during the study period associated with each dressing.
3. To determine the cost-effectiveness associated with each of the three dressings.
4. To assess the patients' mood, satisfaction and quality of life associated with each of the three dressings.
5. To investigate the patient and carer contribution to care in terms of involvement with self-care, and to gain qualitative insights into the patient experience with each of the dressing interventions.
