Diabetes is a critical public health concern that impacts millions across the nation. In 2021 alone, diabetes was the underlying cause of death in 103,294 cases in the United States, making it the eighth leading cause of death that year. Alarmingly, it was mentioned as a contributing factor in a total of 399,401 death certificates.
At Avinger, we understand that chronic conditions like diabetes can lead to severe complications, including Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), which, when left untreated, often results in limb loss and reduced quality of life. Our commitment is to empower healthcare professionals with cutting-edge, image-guided solutions to identify and treat PAD effectively, ultimately helping to prevent amputations and improve patient outcomes.
Together, we can work towards a future where patients with diabetes and PAD receive the care they need to live healthier, fuller lives.
