15 % of diabetic patients are affected with DFUs in the Indian population.

Out of 62 million diabetic patients in India, 25% develop DFUs, of which, 50% become severely infected requiring hospitalization and approximately 20% need amputation.

In India, 100,000 leg amputations per year occur due to diabetes-related complications alone.

India is the most expensive country for DFU care. On an average, 5.7 years of an average patient's income is required to pay for complete DFU therapy.

People with foot problems and diabetes mellitus have 15 times the increased risk of undergoing a lower extremity amputation compared to those without diabetes.

The mortality after unilateral lower limb amputation has been projected to be as high as 39%-80% at 5 years, which is similar or worse than many common types of cancer.
