Wirsing PG, Habrom AD, Zehnder TM, Friedli S, Blatti M. Wireless micro current stimulation--an innovative electrical stimulation method for the treatment of patients with leg and diabetic foot ulcers. Int Wound J. 2015 Dec;12(6):693-8.
Design: Case reports Subjects: 47 patients with hard-to-heal wounds. Patients with venous, arterial and mixed leg ulcers were predominant; other aetiologies such as diabetic foot lesions (n=6), pressure ulcers, vasculitis and pyoderma were also included. Methods: WMCS treatment protocol specified treatment twice or thrice per week, for 45-60 minutes per session, with 1·5 μA current intensity. Standard wound care was applied to all patients, including compression bandages, if necessary. Results: • Clear progress of wound healing, even after 2 weeks, was observed in all cases. • The mean reduction of the wound surface after WMCS treatment was 95% in 8 weeks. • Complete healing was achieved within 3 months for the majority of the cases. • No clinical side effects were observed.
Key message: Wireless Micro Current Stimulation technology significantly accelerated wound healing for patients with hard-to-heal wounds of different aetiologies, including diabetic foot ulcers.
