Innovative microwave treatment saves legs of diabetic patient in Scotland

1 min read

A diabetic patient in Scotland has been saved from leg amputation because of novel microwave technology, marking a significant medical breakthrough.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Barry Meld, a 74-year-old man with type 2 diabetes, developed serious foot ulcers.

The sole course of action suggested by surgeons was amputation. A medical student who was studying Meld’s condition recommended microwave treatment as a substitute, however.

With this unique therapy, Meld has now totally healed after nine months.

The therapy, created using Stirling-based Emblation, activates the immune system by applying low-energy microwave radiation, which successfully heals ulcers.

Swift technology is an effective non-invasive substitute for traditional treatments.

Meld’s recovery demonstrates a breakthrough in medical treatment by highlighting the potential of microwave technology in healing severe diabetic ulcers and preventing amputations.
