STORY SUMMARY: A new biotechnology wound healing therapeutic that both
enhances and speeds healing has recently been approved by Health Canada's
Therapeutic Products Program. REGRANEX, marketed by Janssen-Ortho Inc., is the
first of a new class of wound healing drugs, growth factors, that work by
actively stimulating the body's natural healing process so that the wound
fills with new, healthy tissue. This is a breakthrough for people with
diabetic foot ulcers - ulcers that often just don't heal, risking infection,
gangrene, amputation and even death.
