Brian Benson, DPM, AACFAS, DABPM from Beaugard Health System, moderates a conversation about the uses of CERAMENT G in foot and ankle procedures with Gabriel Santamarina, DPM, from Grady Memorial Hospital, and Bryon Collier, DPM, FACFAS, DABPM from Five Cities Foot and Ankle.

From rural Louisiana, to California's agricultural belt, to busy downtown Atlanta, these DPMs are using CERAMENT G as a first-line defense against DFO. Listen now to learn not only how they’re doing it, but why it’s become a trusted part of standard practice, touching on outcomes, OR efficiency, readmission and length-of-stay reductions, and patient quality-of-life wins.
