Chronic wounds in diabetes mellitus and occlusive arterial disease
Oxygen
is essential in wound healing for process of collagen formation, epithelialisation
of the wound and immune defense. Differences of oxygen supply in ischemic and
neuropathic wounds and its effects on wound healing could be shown [1].
Local perfusion monitoring has the advantage of assessing healing potential
of wounds and diagnose infections in early stages.

Figure 1: Increase of local oxygen saturation two weeks before
infection of the wound. During infection sharp fall in oxygen saturation as
sign of increased oxygen extraction and further decrease of saturation during
healing of ulcer, as hyperemia decreases. (Schematic overview of results of
