Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that causes deficiency in insulin secretion. Poor glycemic control leads to complications such as diabetic foot, which is responsible for most non-traumatic amputations leading to high treatment costs. The technology provides novel methods of treatment, such as drug carrier hydrogel membranes. Objective: to test the hydrogel with papain in the treatment of ulcers in diabetic feet. Research performed in the municipality of Porto Nacional-TO involving diabetic foot wearers in the HRPPN from 01/10/2014 to 10/31/2015, within the inclusion criteria of the work. For socioeconomic analysis, a questionnaire was applied with objective questions and a diagnostic worksheet for the daily follow-up of the wounds. Eighteen patients participated in the study. Only 7 were treated with the hydrogel membrane with papain. As the membrane showed stiffness, which may have delayed the healing process, did not adhere to healthy skin or wound, it was replaced by conventional dressing. The membrane also had a low absorption rate of the exudate, thus, the wounds were macerated. In view of these results, it was verified that the use of the hydrogel with papain did not improve the wounds of the diabetic foot, there was slight debridement in some, but without cicatrization.
