Fifteen years ago, we collaborated with CytoTools AG, Germany, who had this promising molecule for the treatment of Diabetic foot ulcers. We are very happy to offer this ray of hope to people with Diabetic foot ulcer in India.”
A globally patented product, WOXheal topical solution, is effective in treating Diabetic foot ulcers.
