Canadian expert Dr. P. Mayer, Medical Director of The Mayer Institute in Hamilton Ontario which specializes in advanced diabetic foot and wound care, concurs and reports that "We used Collatamp G on several chronic deep wounds associated with osteomyelitis with excellent result. By providing a direct assault on the infected bone, Collatamp G dramatically improved healing in chronic, non-healing wounds and in at least 3 instances Collatamp G was key in helping us prevent amputations". He reports that "adoption of Collatamp G into the treatment protocol for advanced diabetic foot ulcers, could dramatically reduce the length of disability for these patients, and also reduce healthcare costs by reducing the need for daily home-care visits to once or twice weekly."
