Sequential Contraction Compression Device Aids in the Healing of an Ischemic Foot Ulceration in a Chronic Dialysis Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

The authors present a case of an ischemic foot with distal gangrene in a diabetic patient with end stage renal disease on dialysis. Intervention with a sequential contraction compression device was initiated with the intention to increase distal blood flow and mitigate the need for a trans-metatarsal amputation. Sequential contraction compression therapy has been shown to be effective in increasing the macrocirculation to the lower extremity and this case report demonstrates that the system has an effect also on the microcirculation.
