The clinical cases portrayed are aimed at describing the attainment of the implementation of Technology-Lipido-Colloid Nano-Oligosaccharide Factor dressing (TLC-NOSF). The TLC-NOSF dressing has been included in recent recommendations by the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) 2019 Guidelines and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE, UK) and was the focus of a recently published systematic review highlighting the robust evidence behind this technology
