In this episode of The PODdoctors podcast, Dr. Damien Dauphinee, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, and Dr. Raafae Hussain, a fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon, are joined by Michael Schurr and Elliot Phillips from Embed to discuss Microlyte Matrix. They talk about the advancements in wound care technology for diabetic patients that have taken place in the past twenty years and how this has helped to save limbs and save lives. They also discuss a fully synthetic wound dressing and revolutionary bioresorbable wound healing technology that was developed over the course of 8 years with 8 Million dollars of the National Institute of Health funding. 

QUOTES:

“We felt that it was very important for it to be antimicrobial to kill bacteria. And we all know as providers that bacteria in the wound impairs wound healing. That was an essential part of the technology. The second thing that we wanted to do, we wanted to make this bioresorbable so you could put it in a wound and not have to take it out. That also gives you some flexibility to take an antimicrobial matrix and maybe prevent a wound complication.” -Dr. Michael Shurr

“It is amazing what the body can do when it's also not trying to fight microbes and fight bacteria and fight other things. And so you're providing really just the optimal healing environment and allowing the body to do what it does."  -Elliot Phillips
