Introduction

In February 2019, Luciano, a 69-year-old male, suffered a fall that resulted in three non-healing cuts on his legs – one on his left, and two on his right. In May 2019, Lou visited a wound care center to address the non-healing wounds. The wound care center removed the scabs that formed over the three cuts in hopes to re-ignite the healing process, but the wounds continued to grow at an out-of-control rate. Soon after, Lou discovered that he developed an infection – MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a type of bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics. 

Lou was prescribed antibiotics, with various other wound treatments, but the doctors were unable to heal these wounds. A few weeks later, Lou was sent to Valley Wound Care Specialists in Glendale, AZ, where he was treated with ActiGraft, a new, natural way to heal chronic and acute wounds by promoting the body’s natural healing processes.
