The term dry gangrene is used for tissues undergoing sterile ischemic coagulative necrosis. Patients with atherosclerotic disease and diabetes are at risk for the development of dry gangrene, usually because of embolization to the forefoot or toe. Wet gangrene is associated with bacterial proteolytic decomposition and is characterized by its moist appearance, frequently with blistering.
