Diabetic Wound Treatment

For diabetics, the first sign of a wound should be an indication to take heed. Many diabetics have a reduced blood flow, which means that their bodies usually have a harder time fighting off infections and repairing themselves. For those who suffer from diabetic neuropathy, even noticing that they have an injury worth thinking about can be difficult.

One of the first steps in diabetic wound treatment is to relieve the area of pressure. The next usually involves debridement, which is the process of removing dead skin from the area. Disinfecting, cleaning and properly bandaging the area are essential to recovery. All of these steps need to be repeated regularly until the wound is entirely healed. Overlooking this process can lead to a more severe infection, increased pain, gangrene and amputation.

Since diabetics suffer from reduced blood flow, even following a treatment program diligently may not be enough to fully recover. The use of additional treatment methods, such as the Neuro Care™ 1000, can significantly accelerate the time needed to heal. By stimulating muscles, our device is capable of increasing blood flow, allowing the wound to receive the support it needs to heal more efficiently.

Previous neuromuscular electronic stimulator devices have typically failed to offer the deep muscle stimulation needed to provide more than just pain management. The Neuro Care™ 1000 is the result of seven years of research and study and has been used to help in the recovery of various medical conditions. With four different models available, including a portable one, we have made our effective diabetic wound treatment an option for those who are in a hospital or at home.
