GOOD LUCK! pj Celleration® Inc., a Minnesota based medical device company, has produced an impressive and growing body of clinical research with an exciting new wound healing device, the MIST Therapy® System. MIST Therapy is a painless non-contact ultrasound device that is easy to use with a short treatment time. MIST Therapy promotes wound healing through cellular stimulation while removing bacteria from the wound allowing clinicians to heal wounds faster. The MIST Therapy body of evidence includes seven peer reviewed journal publications that demonstrate MIST Therapy's ability to heal wounds faster. Celleration's first scientific investigation of MIST Therapy involved a randomized, double blind, sham-controlled, multi-center clinical trial in diabetic foot ulcers. The outcomes observed in the MIST Therapy treatment arm demonstrated a statistically significant wound closure rate of nearly three times the outcomes observed in the sham control arm within a twelve-week period. MIST Therapy has demonstrated tremendous clinical and economic benefits in hundreds of facilities across the United States. ----- Original Message ----- From: William Willis To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 5:14 PM Subject: FW: [QUAD-L] Pressure sore I have one in the same place about 4x4 in. I've had it for four YEARS. I've tried everything short of visiting the Pope and nothing works. I have done all the following: bed rest, wet-to-dry, wound vac, roho cushion, tilt chair, various ointments and treatments from the wound care center, massive protein and vitamin supplements, prayer and eloquent curses. And still -- there it is. It is a bit like a rabid wolf hiding behind a tree that will most certainly one day jump out and get me. My best advice in your situation -- as much protein as you can stomach. Try Pro-stat, it is very good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 16:50:51 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] Pressure sore I have a pressure sore on my tailbone. It's been there for four months and is about the size of a pencil eraser. I put this ointment on it that was given to me by my doctor every morning, then a bandage. I made a donut out of sheepskin that is taped on over that. I try to stay off of it as much as I can. I get in my chair to eat then lay down on the couch and then back in my chair for lunch, errands or a meeting and then I try to lay down again in the afternoon. I take the bandage off at night and let it be open to air. It looks like it's going to heal and then it just breaks open again. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm really sick of it.
