There are two types of gangrene wet and dry. But both are just "dead tissue". Dead tissue can't be cured.


The link that you provided says: "Treatment may involve surgery to remove the dead tissue, antibiotics to treat any infection,"


Infection already present or infection from surgery. But gangrene is not an infection itself.
