Press Release (Sep 27, 2013)

"I respect my patients immensely and have a strong faith in God. The right thing to do was to save his finger by helping grow back the part that was bitten off by the horse," -Dr. Eugenio Rodriguez

Dr Eugeneio(Palm Beach, FL)—Paul's horse confused his finger with a carrot, biting off and swallowing one third of it. Paul started to desperately search online for help, any help! He refused to give up and live without his whole finger.

Fortunately, he found information about a procedure performed by Dr. Eugenio Rodriguez; a general surgeon specialized in regenerative medicine using new technologies in the field. Paul took a chance and flew all the way from Canada to Delray Beach in Florida to visit Dr. Rodriguez.

"I knew the treatment was going to work on Paul. My challenge was that since it was a new procedure, the patient's insurance company did not want to pay for the treatment, they would only pay for the amputation of the finger. I respect my patients immensely and have a strong faith in God. The right thing to do was to save his finger by helping grow back the part that was bitten off by the horse," states Dr. Eugenio Rodriguez.

The regenerative properties of the technology I use encourage the constructive remodeling of tissue with a unique healing response in both routine and very extraordinary clinical situations."- affirms Dr. Rodriguez.

After a disciplined weekly treatment routine process, Paul's finger slowly recovered its shape and, even his nail began to grow back. The whole case is documented with photographs and clinical studies performed after each session. "The product that I apply is a porcine-derived extracellular matrix that maintains and supports a healing environment through constructive remodeling." says Rodriguez.

Dr. Rodriguez is committed to taking this technology to the next level, by training other physicians, educating patients and developing more research that could lead to avoiding future amputations and helping other more specific groups of patients such as diabetics and those affected by cancer, among others.
