NUS Researchers Develop Microneedle Technology to Accelerate Diabetic Wound Healing

National University of Singapore (NUS) — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 22:50:51 EST

Diabetic wounds often lead to severe complications that can result in amputations. These chronic and non-healing wounds are marked by persistent inflammation, affecting more than six per cent of the global population. In Singapore, there are about four lower limb amputations daily due to non-healing diabetic wounds. A study focusing on diabetic wounds in Singapore estimated that the gross amputation-related healthcare cost per patient was S$23,000 in 2017.
