When it comes to treating chronic or non-healing wounds, traditional methods like ointments, gauze, and basic dressings often aren’t enough. These wounds need more advanced care to truly heal—and that’s where regenerative medicine comes in.
At Integrity Wound Care, we specialize in using the most cutting-edge biologic regenerative therapies on the market to support faster healing, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of amputation.
But what exactly is regenerative medicine, and why does it matter so much for wound care?
Let’s break it down.
Understanding Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine is a type of advanced therapy that helps the body repair, replace, and regenerate damaged tissue. In wound care, it involves applying biological products that contain natural growth factors, proteins, and other healing components.
These therapies are not experimental. They are clinically proven, widely used, and covered by Traditional Medicare for patients with qualifying wounds.
Why Regenerative Medicine Works When Other Methods Fail
Chronic wounds—such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and venous leg ulcers—fail to heal for a variety of reasons:
- Poor circulation
- Ongoing pressure or trauma
- Infection
- Underlying conditions like diabetes or vascular disease
Traditional wound care may only manage symptoms, but regenerative therapies stimulate the actual healing process by:
- Promoting new cell growth
- Improving blood flow to the area
- Supporting the development of healthy tissue
- Reducing inflammation
This means faster healing, fewer complications, and better outcomes for patients who haven’t responded to basic treatments.
What Does Regenerative Treatment Look Like?
At Integrity Wound Care, our mobile providers use advanced regenerative therapies designed to:
- Deliver collagen and proteins that support new tissue growth
- Introduce growth factors that jump-start healing at the cellular level
- Provide anti-inflammatory components that help reduce swelling and discomfort
- Create an optimal environment for wound closure
These treatments are applied directly to the wound in the comfort of the patient’s home or care facility. No hospitalization required.
In fact, studies show that regenerative medicine can accelerate complete wound closure by up to 43% and reduce healing time by over 30% compared to standard wound care. This significant difference can prevent further complications and improve quality of life for patients with non-healing wounds.
Is It Covered by Insurance?
Yes. Traditional Medicare Part B covers regenerative medicine treatments when deemed medically necessary for non-healing wounds. There are no copays, no out-of-pocket surprises, and no need to visit a clinic or hospital.
At the time this article was written, these treatments are not covered under Medicare Advantage plans.
Why This Matters
A wound that doesn’t heal is not just an inconvenience—it’s a serious risk. Delayed care can lead to infection, hospitalization, and even amputation.
Regenerative medicine provides a safe, proven path forward for patients who have run out of options. And it’s available right now through Traditional Medicare.
