Foot problems are common in people with Diabetes as a result of poor circulation or nerve damage. 15% – 25% of people with Diabetes will experience a foot ulcer at some point in their lifetime. Ulcers occur most often on the ball of the foot or on the bottom of the big toe. Ulcers may also appear on the sides of the foot. Wounds on healthy people move through three major phases of healing within ten to twenty days depending on the size of the wound. As a Diabetic, if your ulcer has not progressed in the phases of healing in 4 weeks, you need to consider advanced treatment.
EpiFix is a dehydrated amnion/chorion membrane allograft (skin substitute product) that contains growth factors essential for wound healing. EpiFix when applied to an open wound will help your own cells regenerate the damaged tissue, reduce scar tissue formation, and control inflammation.
