"Every 30 minutes a limb is lost to a land mine. Every 30 seconds, a limb is lost due to diabetes" - International Wound Journal
Diabetes is a global epidemic that affects many organs including the foot and leg and causes more lower leg amputations than any other disease.
Bigfoot are community leaders in preventing diabetic foot ulceration. We are educators in this field and share our extensive knowledge training nurses, GP's, and support groups on the latest assessment and treatment tools to prevent ulceration. Bigfoot currently works with community diabetic foot programs to prevent ulcers before they require hospital treatment.
