As an alternative to skin substitution, The Diabetic Foot Institute also offers Growth Factor Technology, a medical break-through in the field of diabetic podiatry. The "growth factor" gel is applied to the skin around the sore, boosting your own skin's cell division and promoting new blood vesselsthat nourish re-growth. By stimulating the healing power of your own body, The Diabetic Foot Institute provides a minimally invasive treatment that packs powerful results into half the traditional recovery period of two to three months.
