Beyond Wound Care: Rehabilitation
Diabetic foot rehabilitation is a comprehensive program that goes beyond wound closure — addressing circulation, infection, mobility, and prevention of recurrence. Cuba's program delivers this as an intensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary effort.
Wound Healing
Intensive wound care with debridement, advanced dressings, offloading, and Heberprot-P therapy to achieve closure.
Circulation Restoration
Vascular assessment and revascularization procedures to improve blood flow to the affected limb.
Mobility Restoration
Physical therapy to restore walking ability, balance, and strength after prolonged wound care.
Footwear & Orthotics
Custom footwear and orthotic devices to prevent pressure points and reduce recurrence risk.
Education & Prevention
Patient and caregiver education on daily foot inspection, proper footwear, and glycemic control.
Long-Term Monitoring
Ongoing follow-up to detect and address new wounds early, before they become severe.
Why Cuba's Program Is Different
Cuba's diabetic foot rehabilitation program is delivered as an intensive, residential program — combining daily wound care, Heberprot-P therapy, vascular management, and physical therapy in a coordinated, multidisciplinary setting.
Daily Wound Care
Daily specialist attention to wound healing — not weekly appointments, but continuous, intensive care.
Heberprot-P Therapy
Intra-lesional rh-EGF therapy administered directly into the wound. Not available in the United States.
Multidisciplinary Team
Endocrinologists, podiatrists, vascular surgeons, physical therapists, and wound care nurses — coordinated.
Limb Salvage Focus
The program's primary goal is to heal the wound and preserve the limb, avoiding amputation whenever possible.
The Cuban Diabetic Foot Program
Cuba has developed a comprehensive diabetic foot treatment program centered on Heberprot-P — a recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rh-EGF) administered by intra-lesional injection directly into the wound. This therapy is combined with intensive, multidisciplinary wound care. Our team evaluates each patient individually and determines whether an international wound-care and limb-preservation program may be appropriate. Heberprot-P is not available in the United States.
