A pioneering new medical treatment is available that harnesses the power of minute electric currents to deliver a breakthrough treatment for thousands of sufferers of non-healing wounds including leg, foot and pressure ulcers.
Non-healing wounds are extremely commonplace and it is estimated that over half a million people in the UK suffer from leg, foot and pressure ulcers which are categorised as non-healing. As well as being extremely painful, non-healing wounds can lead to further medical complications and in severe cases, can ultimately result in limb amputation.
The new treatment, which has been in development for seven years, involves the use of a medical wound dressing that produces small bio-electric currents around the site of a wound which mimics naturally occurring bio-electric currents. These currents have a vital role in wound healing and, if the right amount of electrical influence is delivered to the wound, it is possible to “kick start” the normal healing process. The product has undergone extensive testing and development and is sold under the POSiFECT
