Introduction: The closure of wounds in diabetic foot patients, after amputation with esposure of bones, is difficult because of lack of blood supply to this area. The progressive suture with Ventrofil® is a good alternative. Aim: Report the technique of progressive closure of foot wounds in insulin-requiring diabetic patients. Materials and Method: 15 patients with diabetic foot were operated on in the Hospital del Salvador, between 2014 and 2019.The ages were among 45 and 70 years. 11 men and 4 women. In those patients two plaques of Ventrofil® were positioned in both borders of the wound an tied through a hori-zontal suture.This suture was tensioned every 3 days until get the complete wound healing. Results: 14 patients healed very well and in just only one patient there was suffering of the edges of the wound. The follow up was of 3 months without relapse. Discussion: In patients with diabetic foot with wounds after amputation the closure is difficult because of lack of adecuate blood supply. In these case the progressive suture with plaques of Ventrofil® is a good alternative to a more complex flaps like microsurgicals ones. Conclusion: This technique is sure, easy to perfom and safe.
