After my knee replacement operation things did not go well, resulting in multiple “wash outs” of the infection area from the slow wound healing. About seven operations later, a new “incurable” infection was found. The surgeon and infectious disease doctor all insisted on amputation of my leg as the only means of survival, that it will go septic and death is certain. Thankfully we were allowed to use the W250 SIS machine and did so on a near 24/7 basis for 4 weeks in the hospital. Based on the information supplied by the infectious diseases doctors, warmth and redness are the main indictors of the infection. After a number of weeks I noticed the areas of warmth and hot spots and redness had either greatly reduced or gone away. Finally, the dressings for the wound were completely removed and the wound closed. Four weeks later they said “why aren’t you dead” and were amazed at how well things healed.

On the 25th of October 2018 I requested assistance from SIS WoundCare to deal with two serious wounds I had on my lower right leg. One wound measured 7cm by 3.25cm and was positioned on the rear of my heal, the second was further up the calf more round with a diameter of 3.5cm. Both wounds followed a bout of septicaemia. The wounds have taken five months to heal and all I have to do is learn to walk without limping. The home care nurses who have redressed the wound daily for most of this period have repeatedly expressed their amazement as to the speed such serious wounds have healed. Much of the credit must go to the SIS machine, a device that has monitored the wounds and provided a healing without any side effects. The complications came about because of the septicaemia that destroyed my immune system, the wounds were covered by a layer of dead flesh that the local surgeon wanted to surgically remove [debride], but this procedure was delayed for two weeks as I started with the SIS machine and the only treatment was keeping the wounds moist with a saline solution. My next visit to the surgeon showed him there was no need for any surgical intervention such was the improvement. There were two further involvements by the surgeon, as the wound on the back of the heel was so deep that at one stage the tendon was exposed and a skin graft was recommended. Once again, we delayed, for two weeks, giving the SIS device time to do its job. The right choice as the tendon responded to healing and covered itself naturally. I must note that my skin would not tolerate any synthetic dressings and the whole time a cotton surgical dressing was used and held into place with a crepe bandage. While the SIS machine did its job it was the continual support that I am most thankful for. Two or three times a week I would send photos of the wounds for advice and always received an immediate answer.

Early this year a ladder broke under me and as I fell I tore a large lump of flesh from the front of my right leg. I tried home style First Aid and a bandage, which seemed to suffice but within the next few days I noticed that the wound didn’t look good and was hot, and when I went in I was informed in the local hosptial Emergency Department that the wound had become seriously septic. My doctor urged me to take IV antibiotics to counter the infection but I felt that the infection was still so localized that it was better to draw silver ions through the injury by the SIS machine W250 device to reduce the infection directly and not suffer the side effects of the antibiotics destroying useful bacteria in the rest of my body, which I had read about. Overnight the injury was cleared of infection! and by week’s end the injury was sealed and today there is little sign of the injury on my leg at all.

Stupidly, while driving, I tried to pour a thermos of hot tea into a travel cup that I placed ready on the floor by my foot and I missed and poured the scolding hot water onto my lower leg. My sock held the hot liquid against my skin, and after a day I realised I had a bad burn. The doctor told me it was a second-degree burn wound. After another day or two, the wound started to ooze and there was pus, and I tried many things, like soaking the wound in saline and some topical herbal products, but the ointment only made it worse. It seemed to me that the wound didn’t ‘want’ to be touched. Things got progressively worse and I had a temperature, started to feel unwell, and the area around the wound was spreading hot and had some streaks, and it was also painful. I used the SIS W250 machine, but did not follow instructions for use properly. I started by putting one of the pads straight on the wound, but this didn’t help and the wound was oozing and hurt even more. Finally, the pads were positioned correctly on either side of the wound, and I was feeling unwell and fell asleep quickly. I woke up after about 6 hours, and to my amazement, the wound had stopped oozing, and the wound looked ‘healed’ and was nice and pink on top. I continued using the SIS machine for another day or two, and the wound basically got better and healed completely. I never took the antibiotics. Today, some months later, it also strikes me that there is almost no visible scar at all, only a really close inspection can just see something, and I think this is amazing.
