“We are very excited about the unsolicited case published in this month’s edition of Podiatry Management,” states Cathy Bradshaw, President of Wound Care Innovations. “Diabetic foot wounds with infections can be complicated and can require multiple approaches to treatment. This case demonstrates the biocompatibility of CellerateRx(R) in supporting the successful take of living skin equivalents and the delivery of antimicrobials when used in combinational therapies. The article further reports CellerateRx’s(R) effectiveness in treating tunneling wounds, and is easy to use. Packing and unpacking these tunneling wounds can be very painful for the patient.

Every 30 seconds a leg is lost to diabetes somewhere in the world.
