Efficacy of Timentin Delivered by PILP Procedure (Treatment Group) Versus Intravenous Delivery (Control Group) at Reducing Microbiological Load in Subjects With Diabetes, and Significant Wound Infection of the Lower Limb.
5; 3

Summary

The use of the Percutaneous Isolated Limb Procedure (PILP) which enables the use of existing antibiotic therapies in a more targeted and concentrated fashion in patients with diabetes who have a significant lower limb infection and it is deemed that IV antibiotics are needed in order to salvage the limb or life.
