OSTEOSET® Resorbable Mini-Bead Kit - Alternative
Treatment
This is a two stage treatment of deep ulcers. Treatment for an ulcerated foot that has damaged the bone must
include a specific treatment for the bone as the ulcer may not properly heal without it. Calcium sulfate is an osteoconductive bone graft substitute proven to regenerate damaged bone.
OSTEOSET®
Resorbable Mini-Beads are prepared in the O.R. and placed into the bone deficiency, allowing the bone to heal.
This treatment, along with a course of antibiotic treatment to
deal with the infection will aid in repairing the bone and resolving the most important issue, infection.
Once the infection is controlled, the GRAFTJACKET® Regenerative Tissue Matrix - Ulcer Repair
may be used to aid in complete repair of the ulcer. This staged
approach can be very effective and offers strong weapons in the battle against deep, diabetic foot wounds.
