It all about the dots ...........

Hello -

Micro-currents in action

Over the past few weeks we have made many new friends and as the word spreads, many of you out there have been wondering what all the fuss is about. What's up with the "dots"? You know the little grey and brown rows that are imprinted on ONLY ONE side of the Procellera device. The dots that hold the bioelectric Prosit technology. Well those dots are very interesting little guys. Not only are they identical to the others of the same color (before use) , but upon activation with a conductive fluid, they come alive and start a game of catch! -- now not literally , but each pair of grey and brown dots form a micro-battery that releases electrons which travel from one dot to the other ..This current will continue until the one of two things occurs. Either the "battery" is dry and no longer activated .... or ... the source is used up. Fortunately, this is easy to determine when you look at the device. If its dry but dots still visible, just give it a drink  ... and if its just really faded from working non-stop for  days on end , the lights go off and the party is over ... (and please don't let them play for more than 7 days)  -- even if the dots look great .It's time to rotate the team roster and bring in the next group. This way you can be sure they will give you  a great workout.

Dots after several days

When the dot's lose their life spark and fade into the sunset, it's time for a change. Just keep an eye on those little powerhouses to be sure they are where they belong; in contact with the wound bed and skin edge . How will you know they are working ? That's easy -- but I can't give away all the answers .  You'll just have to try it and see for yourself .. and let me know how it goes .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Procellera listed among Key Innovations in the US for Diabetic Foot Care

Greetings to all and happy December! Happy .............. ( insert your own holiday) to all and may the coming year bring peace, health, and happiness to you and those in your life.

Over the past few weeks we have been meeting and greeting and training our newest Procellera users and hearing about the wonderful results they are seeing in their practices. Reports from our clinical sites have been so exciting!  Successful outcomes in cases of hidradenitis, peristomal ulcerations, stalled wounds failing multiple treatments , trauma , venous stasis ,  diabetic foot ulcers and amputation wounds have been among the recent mix of glowing reports. Clinical confirmation of initiation of healing in stalled wounds as well as overall faster healing as compared to other modalities. We are looking forward to joining our newest clinicians at our HCA facilities where we will be participating in some exciting research and furthering our clinical knowledge of wound management.

And before you go - be sure to check out the link to the recent article in woundsinternational.com. where Procellera is listed  as one of the Key Innovations in the U.S. in Diabetic Foot Care.  
The article provides a wonderful organized approach to the management of diabetic foot ulcers which emphasizes the appropriate use of technology which is best suited for the individual phases of wound healing. Procellera is included as one of the novel modalities to consider in the management of these wounds .

Season's Greetings everyone!

Have you had your WOW moment yet?

Hmmm, you think.. What are you asking?  I don't usually talk about my WOW moments with complete strangers. However,once you have experienced this feeling ( your WOW whatever) even you will want to share. Ok, so you still have no idea what I'm babbling about ... Well, if you work in wound care, I know you've had this happen to you . You remember, the patient(s) that just wouldn't heal.. You tried everything in your bag of tricks. You got a bigger bag of tricks..   but still nothing. But for those of you who are beginning to get where I'm going with this... you looked through the bag of samples from the last SAWC meeting (or insert your own conference) and you see a silver shimmering foil pouch which seemed to be speaking -
"try me" . Well, what do I have to lose? you think ,,, nothing else has worked-- why not give it a try ...   So you do ... and that's when it happened!
WOW! Maybe it was the patient telling you the wound wasn't so painful anymore. Or , it could have been the fact that after using all the tools on the shelf -- this one was really working ! Or maybe it happened  when you saw the healed wound and said to yourself -- WOW , that looks amazing ...  ooh there it is , that word - WOW . So now you see what the WOW moment is , and if you haven't had yours yet , what are you waiting for?  The "silver shimmering foil pouch"of Procellera is making its way to hospitals and clinics across the country. You can almost feel the "electricity" in the air.. So be on the lookout for your WOW moment when you join the ranks of Procellera users. And once you do -- please share your story here. Patients who have been healed using Procellera want their success stories to be told. So start unwrapping.....   and hurry !

The Posters are HERE!

Hi all.. I'm finally getting the hang of this and have actually (successfully) I think --(please let me know if I didn't)  linked the Clinical Posters to this growing site of resources for our new Procellera clinicians. Now just a word of warning if you happen to be perusing this site while sipping a double espresso at your favorite coffee wi-fi hot spot. This is where the warning about the "adult content" becomes IMPORTANT .. except - not even all adults will be able to tolerate the pictures on these posters .... hint... you may not want to look at these in public places where the person behind you will see and then the next thing you know is their coffee , is on your back and they have fainted and you will need to resuscitate one or more patrons...   You get the point?? 
So when you can (safely) view the posters, just keep in mind they are a bit graphic ... but then again -- if you are a wound care clinician you will appreciate that at least these are only pictures and you don't have to cover your nose ....  
If anyone needs to contact me directly ( and privately) - you may click on the "contact me" envelope icon on the right hand border  and send me a note. 
ALL FEEDBACK is WELCOME !!!

Enjoy !
