In individuals with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), the wound healing process is hindered due to abnormal glucose metabolism and chronic inflammation. Minor injuries, blisters, or pressure sores can develop into chronic ulcers, which, if left untreated, may lead to serious infections, tissue necrosis, and eventual amputation. Current management techniques include debridement, wound dressing, oxygen therapy, antibiotic therapy, topical application of antibiotics, and surgical skin grafting, which are used to manage diabetic wounds and foot ulcers. This review focuses on a hydrogel-based strategy for phase-wise targeting of DFUs, addressing sequential stages of diabetic wound healing: hemostasis, infection, inflammation, and proliferative\/remodeling phases. Hydrogels have emerged as a promising wound care solution due to their unique properties in providing a suitable wound-healing microenvironment. We explore natural polymers, including hyaluronic acid, chitosan, cellulose derivatives, and synthetic polymers such as poly (ethylene glycol), poly (acrylic acid), poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and poly (acrylamide), emphasizing their role in hydrogel fabrication to manage DFU through phase-dependent strategies. Recent innovations, including self-healing hydrogels, stimuli-responsive hydrogels, nanocomposite hydrogels, bioactive hydrogels, and 3D-printed hydrogels, demonstrate enhanced therapeutic potential, improving patient outcomes. This review further discusses the applicability of various hydrogels to each phase of wound healing in DFU treatment, highlighting their potential to advance diabetic wound care through targeted, phase-specific interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym17172303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]],"date-time":"2025-08-26T10:35:17Z","timestamp":1756204517000},"page":"2303","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Progressive Hydrogel Applications in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Management: Phase-Dependent Healing Strategies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Priyanka","family":"Mallanagoudra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nitte (Deemed to be University), Department of Bio & Nano Technology, Nitte University Centre for Science Education and Research, Mangalore 575018, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sai Samanvitha","family":"M Ramakrishna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nitte (Deemed to be University), Department of Bio & Nano Technology, Nitte University Centre for Science Education and Research, Mangalore 575018, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sowmya","family":"Jaiswal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nitte (Deemed to be University), Department of Bio & Nano Technology, Nitte University Centre for Science Education and Research, Mangalore 575018, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dhruthi","family":"Keshava Prasanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nitte (Deemed to be University), Department of Bio & Nano Technology, Nitte University Centre for Science Education and Research, Mangalore 575018, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rithika","family":"Seetharaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nitte (Deemed to be University), Department of Bio & Nano Technology, Nitte University Centre for Science Education and Research, Mangalore 575018, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6510-7760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arunkumar","family":"Palaniappan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Organ Mimics Engineering (HOME) Labs, Centre for Biomaterials, Cellular and Molecular Theranostics (CBCMT), Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore 632014, Tamil Nadu, India"},{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Dubai Campus, Dubai 345055, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5253-9938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sudarshan","family":"Kini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nitte (Deemed to be University), Department of Bio & Nano Technology, Nitte University Centre for Science Education and Research, Mangalore 575018, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e130423215752","DOI":"10.2174\/1573399819666230413094200","article-title":"Prevalence of Diabetes in India: A Review of IDF Diabetes Atlas 10th Edition","volume":"20","author":"Kumar","year":"2024","journal-title":"Curr.
