The research team of the professor of Radiology and Physical Medicine of the UMU, Juan de Dios Berna Serna, in collaboration with the physiotherapy teachers José Antonio García Vidal and Pilar Escolar Reina, have developed a novel procedure for the treatment of breast fistulas.

The new technique consists in the application of a galvanic current through the same needle that is used to drain the fistulas.

This current is produced by a percutaneous electrolysis device that favors the inflammatory response, causing an accelerated regeneration of the affected tissue.

In this way, it is possible to promote the healing of mammary fistulas.

Percutaneous electrolysis equipment is usually used in physiotherapy to treat multiple pathologies.

Therefore, it has been necessary to adapt these devices for this new project, something that has been done in collaboration with the mechanical workshop of the Scientific and Technical Research Area of ​​the UMU.
