Advanced Wound Care Therapies
Our team utilizes a variety of techniques that can dramatically improve wound healing and minimize recovery time. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is just one of the advanced techniques that is used for certain wounds, but not all wounds require it. We evaluate and treat wounds of all types with a focus on providing holistic, innovative care.
The use of specialized socks, stockings, boots, or bandages to reduce swelling in the legs.
Removing dead or unhealthy tissue from a wound.
Our team may order vascular imaging, such as ultrasounds, to evaluate the blood flow to your extremity.
Certain wounds benefit from receiving high oxygen under pressure.
These may include:
- Severe diabetic wounds that have not responded to standard treatment
- Wounds that develop in an area that received radiation therapy
- Ulcers due to severe vascular disease (clots or narrowing of the arteries)
- Necrotizing infections (flesh-eating bacteria)
- Skin flaps or grafts that have decreased blood flow after surgery
However, not all wounds require this therapy. Our team will meet with you and review thoroughly to determine whether you would benefit.
Vacuum-assisted-closure (VAC) devices that apply sub-atmospheric pressure directly to a wound.
Specialized boots, shoes, scooters, and orthotics.
Materials used to cover open wounds and replace the functions of skin. These can be temporary or permanent and come in a variety of biologic, synthetic, or biosynthetic materials.
Application of dressings tailored to your type of wound, such as hydrocolloids, alginates, or antimicrobial dressings.
If your wound requires surgical intervention, our physicians can refer you seamlessly to the appropriate surgeon. We work side-by-side with many specialists including Podiatry, Vascular Surgery and Dermatology in a multidisciplinary practice.
