96% wound healing rate in severe CLI
Tibial Cortex Transposition (TCT)

A minimally invasive bone surgery that triggers the body's own angiogenesis — regrowing blood vessels into the foot without grafts, implants, or a revascularizable target.

Precision Below-Knee Revascularization
85–92% technical success rate
Precision Below-Knee Revascularization

Micro-balloon angioplasty and retrograde pedal-arch access reaching the metatarsal vessels that standard revascularization misses — restoring direct foot-level perfusion.

Advanced Wound Care & NPWTi-d
50% faster infection clearance vs standard care
Advanced Wound Care & NPWTi-d

Multimodal serial debridement combined with instillation-mode NPWT — penetrating biofilm, clearing infection 50% faster, and building a healthy granulation bed in days rather than weeks.

Bone Infection & Staged Reconstruction
>2× local antibiotic concentration vs intravenous
Bone Infection & Staged Reconstruction

A staged protocol combining culture-directed antibiotic bone cement with the induced-membrane technique — achieving local antibiotic levels that systemic therapy cannot reach, then rebuilding what infection destroyed.

Soft-Tissue Reconstruction & Regenerative Closure
≥85% graft take rate in an optimized wound bed
Soft-Tissue Reconstruction & Regenerative Closure

From minimally invasive epidermal cell harvesting to free-flap reconstruction — closing what debridement left open, with techniques matched to each defect and patient.

94% debridement success rate in infected DFU (published series)
Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT)

Sterile Lucilia sericata larvae selectively digest necrotic tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact — providing precise enzymatic debridement with antimicrobial secretions that disrupt biofilm no antibiotic can reliably penetrate.

RR 1.22 wound closure rate vs standard care (PRP, 10-RCT meta-analysis)
Stem Cell & PRP Regenerative Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma and autologous mesenchymal stem cells deliver concentrated growth factors directly to stalled wound tissue — accelerating healing in wounds that have exhausted conventional options and giving ischemic tissue the angiogenic signaling it needs.

23% reduction in major amputation risk (Cochrane review, 2015)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)

Diabetic foot ulcers fail partly because wound tissue is oxygen-starved. At 2.0–2.4 ATA breathing 100% oxygen, dissolved plasma oxygen reaches ischemic tissue that red cells cannot supply. China's centers run high-capacity multiplace chambers with DFU-specific protocols.

OR 1.87 wound healing improvement vs Western care alone (18-RCT meta-analysis)
TCM-Integrated Wound Care

China's specialist DFU hospitals run TCM and Western wound care as parallel treatment streams — dedicated TCM physicians, custom herbal dressings, and acupuncture for circulation alongside modern debridement, vascular intervention, and pharmacotherapy.
