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.

MIST Ultrasound Wounds Healing

The European Foot & Ankle Clinic is proudly offering  to our diabetic and non-diabetic patients suffering with difficult lesions, ulcers, tumors, wounds on their feet MIST Ultrasound Wounds Healing Therapy.

MIST Therapy uses low-frequency ultrasound treatment method used in wound care. The ultrasound waves are transmitted to the tissues by a mist generated by placing saline in front of the transducer of the ultrasound machine. In addition, MIST Therapy is effective in removing or debriding no-viable tissues on the wound, reducing infection and speeding up closure and healing.

High levels of bacteria cause delayed wound healing. Using ultrasonic mist therapy helps control and promote healing by causing mechanical stress which leads to bacterial cell death and reduction of bacterial count.

Biofilm is a structured community of bacteria tightly enclosed within a self-produced exopolymeric matrix, and its presence is a significant barrier to healing. Since it is metabolically inactive, it is extremely hard to disrupt with topical/ systemic antibiotics, antimicrobials, and/or antiseptics. Ultrasonic mist therapy is very effective in disrupting biofilm to promote wound healing.

For information on wound care and wound prevention, we recommend you speak with a podiatrist for professional care and advice.
