healing is of utmost importance for diabetic foot wounds to
properly heal. According to Debashish Chakravarthy, PhD, head of
consumer business development for Advanced Medical Solutions, a
new bandage, called the Spyroflex, is specially designed to
provide this type of healing environment. The bandages can also
be used to protect nerve endings, as well as skin that may
potentially be wounded. People should not wear shoes that are
too tight. "If you get an acute injury—a cut or scrape that you
are consciously aware of when it happens—the bandage will aid in
healing," says Chakravarthy, who advises that people call their
physician if they have a wound that refuses to heal. 0 comments
