Total contact povidone-iodine perfusion cast for the treatment of neuropathic ulcers.

The total contact povidone-iodine perfusion cast is an effective, conservative treatment for the neuropathic ulcer. This is accomplished by redistribution of forces exerted on the foot, as well as the antiseptic environment established by the povidone-iodine. The case study presented demonstrates a cost-effective treatment for the diabetic neuropathic ulcer.
