This episode is part of Season 5 of The Pressure Effect, focused on pressure injury closure using cellular tissue-based products. Host Dr. Lee Ruotsi is joined by Dr. Allen Raphael, a podiatry specialist based in Smyrna, Georgia with more than 20 years of experience in wound care and limb salvage.

They walk through a compelling heel pressure injury case involving an elderly patient with multiple comorbidities,including diabetes, end-stage renal disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Dr. Raphael explains how early surgical intervention, the use of cryopreserved umbilical cord tissue, and coordinated care helped avoid amputation and lead to full wound closure.

The conversation covers surgical strategy, wound bed preparation, CTP integration, offloading techniques, and the critical role of patient and family education in long-term outcomes. A must-listen for clinicians working with medically complex or immobile patients.
