It is caused by diabetic neuropathy and vascular disease. It is also the primary cause of disability and death in patients with severe diabetes, so prompt treatment is essential for positive outcomes. The clinical use of nano-silver dressings can be considered to further optimize the treatment process and improve the treatment efficacy in diabetic foot patients. Nano-silver dressings have a larger contact surface and a stronger bactericidal effect when compared to ordinary silver dressings. Besides, it can be disinfected repeatedly to better wound infection control and promote wound healing. The current article discusses the pathogenesis of diabetic foot, diabetic foot dressing treatment, the application of nanotechnology in diabetic foot treatment, the efficacy evaluation of different dressings, and the practical prospects of adopting nanotechnology in the treatment of diabetic foot.Keywords: nano-silver, diabetic foot, antibacterial dressings
