Major and Minor DFU related amputations continue to rise globally. The Veterans Administration’s PAVE program is intended to prevent or delay amputations for veterans at risk of limb loss. Evidence based wound care therapeutics proven to heal DFUs more durably are now available. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) awarded topical oxygen therapy an “A” grade treatment recommendation in their 2023 and 2024 Standards of Care. Additionally, the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) and Wound Healing Society (WHS) has also recommended its use in their latest clinical practice guidelines. Multiple RCT & RWE studies conducted within the Veterans Administration have demonstrated that AOTI’s unique cyclically pressurized patient applied at home TWO2 therapy heals DFUs more sustainably. These studies showed TWO2 healed DFUs with a six-fold reduction in recurrence, resulting in an 88% reduction in hospitalizations & 71% reduction in amputations over 12 months.
