Patient Journeys
Using innovative electrical stimulation therapy in the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds, Accel-Heal has shown to improve outcomes by reducing pain and stimulating healing. This can lead to a better quality of life for patients.
Reducing Pain
Allowing compression therapy: A patient with a venous leg ulcer could not tolerate any compression therapy because of severe pain (scoring 10/10). Therapy with Accel-Heal rapidly relieved the pain, allowing graduated compression therapy to be started.
Allowing compression therapy: A 90-year-old patient with a venous leg ulcer poorly tolerated compression therapy due to her wound pain. After Accel-Heal was started, graduated high compression was successful and the wound made progress to healing.
Avoiding strong pain medication: An elderly patient with a history of venous leg ulcers presented with two ulcers of 7 weeks duration. One wound healed within four weeks and considerable improvement was noted to the second wound which went on to completely heal within 38-weeks following issues with varicose eczema.
Kick-Starting Healing in a Previously Stalled Wound
Diabetic foot ulcer: Two patients with diabetic foot ulcers were treated with Accel-Heal. Both wounds improved during treatment.
Arterial foot ulcer: A patient with painful recurrent arterial ulcers which had been present for six months, healed nine weeks after starting Accel-Heal therapy.
Venous leg ulcer: A VLU of 3-year’s duration healed within 6-weeks of starting treatment with Accel-Heal.
A patient with bilateral recurrent venous leg ulcers, which had been present for more than four months was treated with Accel-Heal. Both wounds significantly improved within three months following Accel-Heal therapy.
Improving Durability of Healing in Patients WITH PREVIOUS RECURRENCE
A repeatedly recurring venous leg ulcer was treated with Accel-Heal. The wound healed 13 weeks after Accel-Heal therapy. No recurrence of this previously challenging wound was observed for at least two years after therapy.
A venous leg ulcer, with a history of reoccurrence within 3-months of healing was successfully treated with Accel-Heal. The VLU remained closed for 12-months following treatment.
Improving Patient Quality of Life
After treatment with Accel-Heal, the patient’s wound improved and became less malodourous. This meant that he now felt able to see his grandchild again.
A patient with a non-healing wound was becoming very frustrated and withdrawn about the lack of progress. After treatment with Accel-Heal, the wound improved significantly and an improvement in his mental health was noted.
