When you struggle with a foot wound that won’t heal, and you’ve tried many traditional wound care treatments, you may worry that nothing can restore your foot health. With any chronic wound, you probably know the cycle all too well: painful cleaning, uncomfortable dressing changes, and the constant worry about infection. You may wonder if there’s a way to promote healing without more pain.
The experienced podiatrist at Central Kansas Podiatry Associates, Dr. Benjamin Weaver, understands that you’re looking for a wound care solution that doesn’t add to your discomfort. Here, he discusses UltraMIST—the painless, effective wound care solution now available at his Wichita foot care clinic.
UltraMIST for Painless Wound Treatment
UltraMIST is an advanced wound therapy system that harnesses the power of ultrasound in a painless, contact-free application. UltraMIST, a leading-edge wound treatment system, combines two powerful healing agents: ultrasound energy and saline mist. Instead of making direct contact with the wound or the area around it, Dr. Weaver can treat your foot wound in a non-invasive way. The low-frequency ultrasound waves penetrate the tissue to stimulate your body’s natural healing responses. UltraMIST delivers low-frequency ultrasound to the treatment site using a non-contact saline solution.
The ultrasound and saline help create just the right environment for healing by doing the following:
- Decreasing inflammation
- Increasing the flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the affected tissue
- Promoting your own body’s healing capabilities
- Breaking down bacteria
- Stimulating the production of new, healthy tissue
- Encouraging cell stimulation
This cutting-edge technology is particularly helpful for patients with diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers. Most patients report feeling only a slight warming sensation as the ultrasound energy penetrates the wound area.
For any patient who suffers from an acute or chronic foot wound, any delay in healing increases the risk of infection and can adversely impact their quality of life. If your wound doesn’t heal with standard treatments, Dr. Weaver may recommend UltraMIST.
Does UltraMIST Provide Painless Wound Care?
Traditional wound care often involves direct contact with sensitive tissues, and cleaning, debriding, and dressing changes can be very painful. UltraMIST eliminates this pain by delivering therapeutic ultrasound waves without touching the wound surface.
The ultrasound energy is transmitted through a saline mist that gently coats the wound bed, making the entire process contact-free. This allows patients to receive the healing benefits of the treatment without any additional discomfort, even in highly sensitive areas.
The Benefits of Painless UltraMIST
As a skilled Wichita foot doctor, Dr. Weaver understands that effective wound care isn't just about healing—it's about providing a comfortable, less-stress experience for patients. He uses UltraMIST because it offers several key benefits:
- The application is painless. The contact-free technology helps eliminate the pain associated with traditional wound care methods, making treatments more comfortable for patients.
- UltraMIST helps promote faster healing. By increasing blood flow and stimulating cellular activity, UltraMIST helps wounds heal more quickly. This means less pain, and you’ll likely need fewer treatments and experience a speedier return to your normal life.
- There's a reduced risk of infection. The saline mist creates a protective barrier over the wound, reducing the risk of contamination during treatment, which means less chance of infection and less pain as you heal. This is especially important for patients with diabetes or compromised immune systems.
- There are no known side effects. UltraMIST is virtually painless; there are no known adverse side effects; and it doesn't require medication for pain. Other wound care therapies may cause discomfort, allergic reactions, or skin irritation that may require pain medication.
Because the saline mist is so gentle and the ultrasound energy is delivered without any direct contact, patients generally feel no discomfort during UltraMIST treatments. Many people report a warm sensation as the ultrasound penetrates the tissue, but this is not painful.
