This study is investigating the effectiveness of two different types of wound dressings in treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), a common complication of diabetes that can be difficult to heal. The study will compare the use of vinegar dressings to normal saline (saltwater) dressings to see which one helps heal the wound faster and more effectively. People with diabetic foot ulcers often struggle with infections and slow healing. The goal of this study is to determine if vinegar, a simple and affordable treatment, works better than saline in improving wound healing and reducing infections. The study will measure how quickly the wound heals, how much dead tissue is removed, and whether the bacteria in the wound disappear. This study will involve patients with infected diabetic foot ulcers. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either vinegar or saline dressing. The results will help determine the best and most cost-effective treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, potentially making it easier for patients to access better care.
