“Two months after the amputation of two toes in July, the patient’s left foot wound hadn’t healed. In December, a failed amputation flap occurred; and on February 28 of the following year, the patient began a 30-day trial of Juven.*
With no other change to his care but the addition of Juven, the wound began to heal and continued healing after his supply of Juven was used up.”
Juven was used in addition to a standard wound care program. Results may vary depending on the type and severity of the wound.
“I was treating a diabetic patient with a plantar heel ulcer. While revascularization, local wound care with collagen dressings, and offloading had improved the ulcer to a degree, progress was minimal and slow. At that point, we added a twice-daily regimen of Juven.* Within about two weeks, there was noticeable improvement.
By her most recent visit, the ulcer has reduced in size significantly, and has nearly closed over the space of six weeks. No other changes in her treatment regimen had been initiated, so I attribute much of the acceleration of the healing process to the Juven.”
At baseline, the wound measured 2.3 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, and 2 mm deep. This female patient fell within the age range of 70+. The healthcare professional in charge was a doctor of podiatric medicine.

“I placed my patient on a Juven* trial as he is at high risk of proximal foot amputation due to previous infection treated by distal amputation. There was soft tissue loss, and my patient had undergone a bioengineered graft placement with subsequent failure of the graft.
At this point, Juven was started in an attempt to increase healing potential. He has done fantastic with its use. I will continue to have my patient take Juven during the duration of his treatment and will continue to recommend it for patients with ulcers.”

“As a type 2 diabetic for over 30 years. I have trouble healing from foot wounds due to neuropathy. This latest lesion was healing very slowly, so Juven seemed like a good addition to my wound care. The Juven* seems to have been effective in finally getting the 12-week old lesion to heal! Now I am on a path to recovery!”

A 62-year-old male had a 20-year history of diabetes mellitus when he developed a diabetic foot ulcer with osteomyelitis. The patient sought medical attention after a crack on the bottom of his foot developed into a lesion. The tissue around the lesion was inflamed and necrotic.
