BioStem Technologies Takes on Diabetic Foot Ulcers with Innovative Wound Care Product
BioStem Technologies (OTC: BSEM) has received Investigational Review Board (IRB) approval for a clinical study that will investigate the utilization and effects of its Vendaje Ⓡ wound care product in diabetic foot ulcers.
“We have already demonstrated scientifically that our process and product is exceptional.

Highlights
BioStem VendajeⓇ
Vendaje is a placental-derived, minimally manipulated dehydrated tissue allograft that serves as a protective covering for soft tissue wounds.
Composed of the amnion layer of the placenta, Vendaje naturally possesses extracellular matrix scaffolding that provides mechanical protection and functional support for cell attachment, growth factors that help modulate proliferation and angiogenesis, and anti-inflammatory cytokines that inhibit inflammatory effects, all critical in aiding the body's natural healing cascade.
According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), approximately 15 percent of people with diabetes develop foot ulcers. Between 14 and 24 percent of people with diabetes that develop foot ulcers will require an amputation.
