The first photo was at intake for this patient. The provider was able to prevent an amputation, however, the wound had stalled for 8 months and was not responding to treatment. After the addition of VHT®, the wound closed in 12 weeks and 16 VHT® treatments. The only variable that changed was adding VHT®, exemplifying even the most diligent wound care providers can benefit from the VHT® assist. Remarkably, this 70%+ jump in just a few VHT® treatments is typical.

This patient was originally admitted to the hospital where she was told that she would likely need an amputation. The on-call podiatrist accepted her as a patient and made great strides with 8 months of diligent wound care, but the wound was recalcitrant. Fortunately, this provider entered the VHT® IRB study and was able to administer VHT® to this compliant patient. This wound healed in 11 weeks with 19 VHT® treatments.

This patient has vascular issues but is not a diabetic and had given up hope of healing. She moved to her daughter’s house in preparation for a below-the-knee amputation (BKA). While waiting for surgery scheduling, her new provider started treating with VHT® as a “last ditch” effort. When they saw a 50%+ healing rate between the first and second VHT® treatment, they cancelled the amputation surgery. The wound closed in 10 treatments and the patient is ambulating in a custom Charcot AFO boot and back to work on her family cattle ranch in Montana.
