Type II diabetes is a disease that often leads to diabetic foot syndrome and characteristic chronic wounds. It is one of the most dangerous complications of diabetes, often leading to limb amputation and increasing the risk of serious infections. Unfortunately, the incidence of diabetes continues to rise, and the available methods of treating wounds in patients often prove insufficient. Therefore, the search for new, bioactive dressings that could be used in the treatment of chronic wounds in this condition is extremely necessary and important.
