Executive Summary
An external nerve stimulation device for treating diabetic ulcers could help avoid some of the 56,000 amputations carried out each year because of vascular complications of diabetes. The device was conceived by a biophysicist, Ed Krause, from Galveston, Texas, and is being developed with technical support from the US National Aeronautical and Space Administration.
