Wound Care with SenLore™
Enhancing wellness and functionality for hard-to-heal wounds.
Pioneer a device for treating challenging lower extremity wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis leg wounds, and arterial ulcers.
Innovative technology combines controlled heat, electrical pulse stimulation, and an integrated feedback sensor for continuous monitoring.
Real-time performance data is transmitted to patients and clinicians.
Aims to enhance patient well-being while reducing healthcare costs.
Evidence Based Research
The vasculature system in diabetic patients in a constant state of vasoconstriction, which limits healing.
Heat and ES (electric stimulation) cause endothelial cells to release Nitric Oxide into smooth muscle resulting in vasodilation to increase foot circulation and promote healing.
INTRODUCING SENLORE™
Problem
Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) poses a significant healthcare challenge, impacting both patients' well-being and the economy.
Impaired circulation and nerve damage contribute to the slow healing and high recurrence rates of DFUs.
With millions affected by diabetes in the US alone, the economic burden exceeds billions annually, emphasizing the critical need for effective interventions.
Statistics and Cost
In the US, diabetes affects about 34.2 million people (10.5% of the population) and has an annual cost of $327 billion.
Diabetic foot ulcers contributing around $11.5 billion annually.
These ulcers cause prolonged healing, reduced quality of life, and productivity loss, straining both individuals and the healthcare system.
Solution Development
Controlled heat and electrical pulse stimulation enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing process.
Equipped with feedback sensors and continuous monitoring, the device encourages active patient and clinician involvement.
Improve patient outcomes and alleviate the economic and healthcare burdens associated with these ulcers.
Our goal is to integrate pioneering elements, led by visionary entrepreneurs dedicated to advancing diabetic foot ulcer healing.
