An innovation for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer using the patient's own tissue and artificial intelligence has been implemented at the University Multi-profile Hospital for Active Treatment-Burgas. Bulgaria is the fourth European country to start applying this technology. It is a revolutionary new approach for treating severe chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, burns, bedsores, etc.


It turns out that more than half of foot amputations in the country are due to diabetic foot ulcer. The new technology gives patients a chance to save their feet. The method is already routinely used in the United States, Turkiye, South Korea and other Asian countries. Bulgaria is the fourth European country to start using method.

Currently, Bulgarian patients have free access to this treatment only during demonstrations, as the equipment has only been on the market for three months and has not yet been purchased by any medical institution in the country.
