US Chronic wound reimbursement study update and October BTM smaller size launch, page-14

Vascular surgeons regular perform angioplasty and/or stenting on chronically ischemic legs in patients with non-healing ulcers. They do this with the sole purpose of increasing blood flow to the wound and allowing it to heal despite knowing that the vessel will be stenosed again within a matter of months (often much faster). But they hope that the wound might heal in the mean time to avoid amputation.

Often surgeons perform angioplasty and debride wounds as one procedure, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think applying BTM could add to wound coverage and thus result in better wound healing. Especially given the sometimes limited window that the tissue is reperfused for.
