The elderly are not the only ones who get chronic wounds! The Ministry of Health and Welfare’s cell therapy "Guidelines for Managing the Implementation or Use of Medical Instruments for Examinations and Tests in Medical Technology" sheds new light on providing treatment to patients.

It is a common misconception, according to director Jun-Jia Chen, that only the elderly have chronic wounds, such as Diabetes Type I patients, those undergoing dialysis (decreased healing ability after 10 to 20 years) or hypertension (final stage obstruction of peripheral blood vessels). However, patients with chronic medication (immunosuppressants, steroids), rhematic immune diseases, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, chemotherapy for cancer, etc. have impaired wound healing, thereby increasing the likelihood of chronic wounds even at a young age.

Since 2018, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has issued "Guidelines for Managing the Implementation or Use of Medical Instruments for Examinations and Tests in Medical Technology," approving the use of autologous fat cells to treat chronic wounds, bringing new medical treatment procedures to patients and shedding new light on life! Cell therapy provides a new treatment option for chronic wounds that are difficult to heal, in contrast to previous skin grafting procedures, which were often painful and required a lengthy recovery period.
