HEALTHCARE: Toe Amputation. ActiGraft to heal diabetic wounded toe faster than 4 months

4229. HEALTHCARE. ActiGraft use in healing the wound of the stump of foot after two amputated toes were removed in a 75-year-old man.
24 Oct 2023. I visited 75-year-old Ben in Ward 1, Bed 125 of Thye Hua Kwan Hospital today. He was in a room with 7 other rehabilitating men, mostly diabetics. His gangrenous toes (middle) were BLACK for some months (PHOTO of toes are NOT BEN's).
The doctor had amputated in Tan Tock Seng Hospital 2 weeks ago as they no longer had blood supply. The doctor had inserted a tubing into the gangrenous toe to open up the blood vessels to supply blood to the gangrenous toes, but the procedure did not help.
The wound of the stump will take at least 4 months to heal, with the usual dressing and suction of the debris of the wound. The doctor recommended ActiGraft. One box costs S$400 and he had used 3 boxes.
So far, he is on the 3rd box. I will update later as it is too early to know whether ActiGraft will lead to healing of the diabetic stump earlier than 4 months (one patient in similar situation had told him).
I have uploaded the unedited videos for those who are interested in this ActiGraft healing of the wound.

Derived from your patient’s own blood, the ActiGraft Pro® whole blood clot is embedded with essential wound healing elements such as red blood cells, macrophages, platelets, proteins, clotting factors, minerals, electrolytes and dissolved gasses, bound within a natural fibrin scaffold. Once applied to the wound site, ActiGraft Pro reactivates the body’s natural healing cascade and serves as a protective covering that supports the body’s healing process, accelerating your patient’s road to recovery.
