What is Regranex?

Regranex is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Smith & Nephew, Inc. Regranex gel is the only FDA-approved platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) therapy for diabetic neuropathic ulcers.

Regranex is used for the treatment of lower extremity diabetic ulcers that extend into the subcutaneous tissue or beyond and have an adequate blood supply. Regranex is not a substitute for good ulcer care practices, but more so to be used alongside good ulcer wound care.

The efficacy of Regranex gel has not been established for the treatment of pressure ulcers and venous stasis ulcers. Regranex gel should not be used in wounds that are close by primary intention. Also, the effects of Regranex gel on exposed joints, tendons, ligaments, and bone have not been established in humans.

What doses of Regranex are available?

Regranex is available in gel form, in the following doses: 0.01%.

Regranex gel is for topical use, it is not for oral, ophthalmic or intravaginal use. The length of gel of Regranex you apply will depend upon the size of the ulcer area. Each square inch of ulcer surface will need 2/3 inch length of gel squeezed from a 15 g tube. The amount of gel to be applied should be recalculated at weekly or biweekly intervals depending on the rate of change in ulcer area.

To apply Regranex, the gel should be squeezed onto a clean measuring surface, e.g., wax paper. The gel is transferred from the clean surface using an application aid (cotton swab, tongue depressor) and spread over the cleaned ulcer area to give a thin layer.

Cover the application site with a saline moistened gauze dressing and leave for approximately 12 hours. Remove the dressing clean the ulcer with saline or water to remove residual gel and cover again with a moist primary dressing for the rest of the day.

Regranex should be applied once daily to the ulcer until complete healing. If the ulcer does not decrease in size by 30% after 10 weeks or complete healing has not occurred in 20 weeks, reassess treatment with Regranex.

Remove necrotic tissue and calluses to aid drainage and stimulate healing (debridement). Also, reduce the bacterial burden to restore a stable bacterial balance (infection control), and redistribute plantar pressure, to reduce the incidence of ulceration.

Please read the medication guide provided and always speak with your healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
