MIST Wounds Healing in Podiatry

MIST procedure is frequently used in podiatry to treat chronic wounds in the lower extremities, such as diabetic foot ulcers. Chronic wounds in the foot can be challenging to treat due to poor blood circulation and a high risk of infection. MIST procedure can help remove dead tissue and debris from the wound, which can promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.

The MIST Therapy System delivers therapeutic ultrasound to the wound bed without direct contact. Saline solution is converted into fine particles and released towards the wound by sound pressure waves to remove dead or damaged tissue.

UltraMIST Therapy has been clinically demonstrated to promote healing across a wide range of chronic and acute wounds. Unlike most wound therapies that are limited to treating the wound surface, the UltraMIST System delivers low-frequency ultrasound to the treatment site using a noncontact saline.

Indications include, but are not limited to, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and surgical, burn, and deep tissue injuries. It also reduces and removes a wide range of bacteria, including biofilms, while preserving healthy structures.

These low energy ultrasonic waves promote healing from within by increasing the number of blood vessels to the wound, reducing bacteria and decreasing inflammation.

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment with MIST Ultrasound

There are many treatments available for plantar fasciitis, that causes heel pain. Heel pain results primarily from repetitive stress, such as with long-distance running, ballet, or jumping. It can also occur with structural issues that affect the bones and soft tissues. Several different conditions can cause such pain.

The most common reason for heel pain, plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a tough band of tissue extending from the heel bone to the tip of the foot. If the tissue stretches beyond its normal limits, the fibers become inflamed, causing pain. While you most often feel the pain in the heel bone, it can present in the middle of the foot as well.
