Aerocore® Helps Doctors To Get Diabetics Treated With Active Living Cells

A bioengineered product is improving care for diabetic patients who have painful foot ulcers—and a shipping solution from American Aerogel plays a key role in making it work.

Made by a leader in the research and development of regenerative medicine therapies, the product simulates human tissue. It contains living cells that work with the patient’s own skin to better heal hardto- treat ulcers. So far it has been used on more than 60,000 diabetic patients with proven performance.

Because the product contains living cells, it must be kept cryogenically frozen to work—from the moment it is produced in the manufacturer’s advanced labs, until the moment it is used to treat patients in the operating rooms of hospitals across the country.
