Treatment of Venous Stasis Leg Ulcers

Infection is the most frequent complication associated with an ulcer of the foot or leg. Bacterial infection simply prevents the ulcer from healing. Some patients have endured these non-healing wounds for two or three decades.

It's a devastating lifestyle. The pain is constant and the odor horrific. These patients live with both the pain and decaying stench 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Many for the greater part of their lives.

The degree of ulceration is oftentimes exacerbated by a general neglect of the wound that can be the result of poverty, little to no education, inability to access medical care and poor nutrition. Compounding this is the fact that invading bacteria can grow resistant in reaction to antibiotics or topical antiseptics that are used to treat the ulcer.

Seldom will conventional antiseptics kill the all the bacteria. To the contrary, many antiseptics actually end up damaging the healthy tissue surrounding the ulcer.

It is a real dilemma since most antispetics used in an attempt to reduce the wound's microbial load may end up causing even greater harm to the patients' healthy tissue.

Within a few weeks after first treating patients with the Microcyn^® Technology, physicians begin to see healing in decades-old ulcers that was previously unheard of.

The photos below graphically illustrate the significant results achieved on these ulcers when treated with a Microcyn^® Technology-based regimen.

The beauty of the Microcyn^® Technology is that patients, once finished with the physician's treatment, can self administer home treatment on their own, cleansing and treating their ulcer with Microcyn^® Technology and then bandaging. This is convenient and economical for patients since it reduced the number of clinic appointments required.

NOTE: Microcyn® does not have U.S. FDA clearance for claims other than to moisten, lubricate, cleanse and debride wounds.
