Discover the Benefits of Keryflex for Your Feet

March 18, 2024

If you're experiencing foot pain or discomfort, you might be wondering about treatment options available to help manage your symptoms. One such option is Keryflex, a medical device designed to help manage wounds on the foot, specifically those caused by diabetes. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of using Keryflex for managing and treating these types of wounds. We'll also discuss how Taub Podiatry uses Keryflex and why you can trust Dr. Jessica Taub, Joseph Taub, and Aric Swancutt with your foot care needs.

What is Keryflex and Why Should You Care?

Keryflex is a medical device that's used to treat and manage foot wounds. It's specifically designed for patients with diabetes who are at higher risk of developing complications related to their feet. Keryflex works by creating a protective cover over the affected area, promoting healing and reducing the risk of infection or other complications.

Diabetic patients have a harder time fighting off infections due to the disease's effect on circulation and nerve function in their extremities. This makes it crucial for them to seek proper medical care for foot wounds as soon as possible. Keryflex provides an effective treatment option that can help prevent complications and improve overall foot health.

How Does Keryflex Work?

Keryflex is applied in a simple, non-invasive procedure that doesn't require any local anesthesia. First, the wound area is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Next, a special primer is applied to the affected skin to create an optimal surface for bonding with the Keryflex material.

The Keryflex application consists of three components: a base coat, gel hardener, and a finishing coat. The base coat is applied first, followed by the gel hardener which helps the material adhere more securely to the skin. Finally, a finishing coat is added to provide additional strength and durability.

Once applied, Keryflex provides a protective covering that shields the wound from contaminants such as bacteria and fungi. It also reduces pressure on the affected area, allowing it to heal more quickly. Most importantly, Keryflex prevents new skin cells from growing into the open wound, which greatly reduces the risk of infection.
