Chronic wounds can become seriously infected, gangrenous and in some cases require amputation. Often, this is due to limited blood flow that can impede the body's normal healing processes. Osage Nation Home Health offers a new therapeutic treatment for chronic wounds that have not healed after standard wound treatment. In the majority of patients, our treatment programs can produce complete healing, usually within a month or two. |

ENDOTHELIAL SHEAR THERAPY (EST) Without adequate oxygen, and other nutrients, new tissue cannot form and white blood cells loose their protective bacteria-killing capacity, ensuring that infection will increase. Neither topical nor systemic pharmaceuticals can compensate for the lack of blood flow. Osage Nation Home Health's Endovascular Shear Therapy (EST) can markedly upregulate blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrition to the wound site. The flowing blood creates kinetic energy and forces related to the vascular endothelium (the lining of the blood vessel). These kinetic forces, particularly shear stress, activate the body’s paracrine and autocrine response, resulting in the upregulation of many vasoactive substances which contribute to the healing process. Some of these substances, after chronic application of the protocol, contribute to the formation of collateral circulation (angiogenesis, arteriogenesis) to help sustain adequate perfusion and tissue oxygenation following the treatment course. |
