Bryn
Mawr Wound Care & Vascular Center  |
is proud to provide
EDPC therapy
The right step in drastically
reducing the number of leg and foot amputations in America.
Our
goal
Currently there are 28 million Americans with
circulatory problems and 14 million living with diabetes.
Of those, 30% have peripheral vascular disease and 15% suffer
from ulcers of the lower extremities resulting in an astonishing
69,000 lower leg and foot amputations nationwide each year.
Bryn Mawr Wound Care & Vascular Center is dedicated to
the treatment of peripheral vascular disorders by proudly
providing EDPC (End Diastolic Pneumatic Compression) therapy
– a proven, non-surgical, safe and painless alternative
for patients being considered for leg and foot amputations.
We are the largest and most experienced EDPC therapy provider
in the nation. Located in the Medical building at the prestigious
Bryn Mawr Hospital, the Wound Care and Vascular Center maintains
and operates fifteen of the patented “boots” which
provide this vital treatment. Our facility has treated a number
of individuals who have been told that their only option left
is amputation of the affected limb. In these cases, EDPC therapy
has proven particularly effective. EDPC therapy aids in the
treatment of non-healing diabetic ulcers, significant peripheral
disease and venous stasis ulcers. It is also particularly
effective in helping to restore circulation in individuals
who have had failed lower limb bypass surgery, or those who
are not candidates for such a surgery because of medical reasons.
The EDPC “boot” acts as a cardiac assist mechanism,
to force oxygenated blood into the leg and foot resulting
in dramatic healing of severe ulcers and relief of pain associated
with peripheral vascular disease. At the present time, the
“boot” is the only End Diastolic Cardiac device
approved by the FDA and covered by Medicare. Now, thanks to
EDPC therapy, it is entirely possible to heal wounds that
have typically been treated with amputation.
Thank you for your interest
in Bryn Mawr Wound Care & Vascular Center. We look forward
to hearing from you.
