Cost-utility analysis of a polylactic acid matrix versus a collagen dressing for the closure of diabetic foot ulcers
PLA dermal matrices provide a cost-effective alternative to collagen dressings, promoting faster wound closure, improved quality of life, and reduced healthcare costs. These results support the adoption of PLA as a preferred treatment for DFUs.
