The Wound Care Center is dedicated to the treatment of patients with chronic non-healing wounds resulting from a variety of causes including diabetes and vascular disease. Nearly five million Americans suffer with chronic wounds that don’t heal or fail to improve within four weeks. While most wounds heal quickly, there are specific types of wounds that cause severe problems if left untreated. Three main factors for non-healing wounds include: diabetes, poor circulation and limited mobility.
The Wound Care Center offers evidence based care which is proven to reduce complications and amputations related to chronic, non-healing wounds.
Wound Care may include:
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Hyperbaric Medicine is a non-invasive procedure often used to treat chronic non-healing wounds. During treatment, the patient rests in a chamber containing 100% oxygen at pressures of more than one atmosphere. Hyperbaric treatments typically last about 2 hours. For most patients, it is a 2 hour restful session. They can listen to music, watch TV, talk to family members, or simply take a nap.
Much of the success of your wound treatment depends on your level of commitment and participation. As an active member of your wound care team, you will need to follow directions carefully, watch your progress closely and keep your appointments.
We Look Forward To Treating Your Wound Care Needs.
