American woman managed to grow a phalange of a finger bitten off by cougar using a platelet gel - blood plasma with a high content of platelets.

Forty-year-old Jania Walker rested in Honduras in July 2017, where she was attacked by a cougar. The animal clung to the hand of a woman and bit off the phalanx of the index finger of the right hand. Local doctors could not help and said that Jania would have to live with an amputated phalanx.. This writes 42. tut. by ditching Daily Mail Online.

However, in California, Dr. Akash Bazhazh suggested that she try a platelet gel from her own blood plasma..

Due to the content of growth factors in it, the doctor was able to inject tissue regeneration through injections.. The first results appeared only a few days later, and a few months later a nail formed on the phalanx. Such progress surprised even the doctor..

So far, the finger still does not look like it had before, but its features are almost imperceptible if you build up a nail, says Jania. She hopes that her example will inspire other people with injuries not to give up and look for a way out..
