SALEM – People wiht diabetes suffering from hard-to-heal foot ulcers now have access to a groundbreaking new treatment available at Salem Regional Medical Center’s (SRMC) Wound Healing Center (WHC).
The Medical Center’s WHC is the first and only facility in the region to offer the Reapplix 3C Patch®, an advanced and personalized wound care solution made using the patient’s own blood.
How it Works
