Maggot debridement therapy promising
Akron, Ohio - Maggot debridement therapy (MDT), a controversial, but reportedly effective wound-healing technique, has attracted a following abroad in recent years, and is now gaining interest in the United States, as well. MDT is the medical use of live maggots or fly larvae for cleaning non-healing wounds.

Mostow, M.D., of Wound Care Associates of Akron (Ohio).
