Advanced Wound Dressing
Unlike gauze dressings or bandages, advanced wound dressings help keep an ideal level of moisture in the wound. They also protect burns and open wounds from further injury or infection.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy exposes patients to 100 percent oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric oxygen chamber. This treatment increases the oxygen concentration in the body tissue, maximizing the healing of slow or difficult wounds.

Infection Assessment and Intervention
In infection assessment and intervention, wound care specialists evaluate an infection and advise patients on treatment options and wound management.

Pressure Relief/Offloading
Offloading is relieving the painful pressure a patient feels from a pressure ulcer or sore. Often, this can be accomplished with the help of devices such as crutches or customized boots or shoes.

Vascular Assessment
Wound care specialists evaluate wounds in order to recommend the appropriate treatments. Forms of vascular assessment include ankle-brachial index, which measures the blood pressure in the arteries to detect blockages, and transcutaneous oxygen measurements, which assess arterial blockage and predict the potential for healing wounds.
