Fish skin, pig intestine, pig bladder, cow tendon and more – oh my! It’s not something out of Oz. These are things being used to save people from having limbs amputated.
Join us as we discuss the work of an OSF HealthCare vascular surgeon to save patients from amputation through advanced regenerative reconstruction. He does it through procedures currently reserved for the most serious of cases like severe bacterial infection, traumatic crushed limbs and lower limb ulcers that have become infected and spread throughout the body. OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria is the only location in Illinois performing advanced regenerative reconstruction procedures at this level.
Host Shelli Dankoff chats with this surgeon, Eric Martin, DO, chief of Vascular Surgery at OSF Saint Francis, about how he has crafted a predictable and consistent method that provides reliable outcomes for heroic limb salvage. Special guests for this episode include Jessica Collins, a surgical specialist at Kerecis, OSF patient Tim Rayner, OSF patient Katelynn Aukes, and her mother, Kristy Aukes.
