Clinic
Produces Successful Outcomes using the Circulator Boot
The following
two cases were provided by Dr. Filip and Dr. Preske for patients
treated at the Bryn Mawr Endocrine and Diabetes Center, near
Philadelphia.
Leg
at Risk after Two Vascular Procedures Saved by Boot Therapy
This lady
had persistent foot pain after a femoral-popliteal bypass
procedure. Her vascular surgeon then attempted to bring arterial
flow to her midfoot. The distal incisions became infected
and she returned to the operating room for an incision and
drainage procedure. She continued to have pain and swelling
in her foot. The right second toe became discolored and part
became black. Her cardiologist consulted Dr. Preske who recommended
boot therapy. With boot therapy and local antibiotics, her
foot, including an area of osteomyelitis, healed completely.

Small
Ulcer Resistant to Standard Care over Two years Cured with
Boot
This
diabetic lady had undergone therapy for two years in an attempt
to cure her plantar ulcer. The ulcer persisted in spite of
multiple debridements, skin grafting and both intravenous
and oral antibiotics. She was booted daily from May 4th to
May 24th and then three times a week until she was healed
and discharged on July 10th. She returned for a follow-up
picture on August 2nd.

The
foot appears slightly reddened and, especially
on the heel, dry. A faint imprint of her bandage
is seen along with some residual adhesive material.

A
small intracutaneous red spot remained at the site
of the ulcer on follow-up. The skin overall appears
pink, clean and well hydrated.
