Wounds We Treat
Some wounds need more than routine care to heal properly. If a wound is not healing as expected, continues to reopen or requires ongoing care, a wound care evaluation can help determine the appropriate next steps. Our wound care team evaluates and manages a range of acute, chronic and non-healing wounds, including:
Diabetic wounds and foot ulcers
Pressure injuries and ulcers
Venous leg ulcers
Non-healing surgical wounds
Traumatic wounds
Minor burns
Other difficult-to-heal wounds
Comprehensive Wound Care Support
Treatment begins with an evaluation of the wound and factors that may be affecting healing. From there, our team develops an individualized care plan and follows progress over time. Wound care services may include:
Wound Assessment and Evaluation
A comprehensive assessment of the wound, its history and factors that may be affecting the healing process.
Wound Cleaning and Debridement
Removal of unhealthy or damaged tissue when appropriate to support the healing process.
Advanced Wound Dressings
Selection and application of wound dressings based on the type, location and stage of the wound.
Compression Therapy
Compression may be incorporated into treatment for certain lower-extremity wounds related to venous circulation.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Management and support for patients using negative pressure wound therapy, often referred to as wound VAC therapy, when appropriate.
Ongoing Wound Management
Regular follow-up allows our team to monitor healing, adjust the treatment plan and address changes in the wound.
Patient and Caregiver Education
Practical guidance for caring for the wound between visits, including dressing care, skin protection and steps that can support the treatment plan.
Coordination of Additional Care
Some wounds require additional testing or specialty services. When appropriate, our team can coordinate care with other medical specialists or refer patients for services such as vascular evaluation, podiatry, surgery or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
