Wound Care Services
BHS Wound Care's experienced staff employs a variety of leading-edge treatments
and services to effectively assess, prevent and heal wounds. Our comprehensive
services are carefully matched to provide the best care and outcomes for
your specific wounds.
Some of the wound types we frequently treat include:
Diabetes Wound - The body’s ability to heal itself is impaired in people with diabetes,
increasing their risk of infection. Seeking medical attention for cuts
and blisters is advised.
Infected Wound - Infections can turn a small cut into something deadly. We have tools
designed for cleaning infected wounds.
Skin Wound - Skin wounds should be cleaned immediately to avoid infection. Depending
on what you cut yourself on, you may require a shot to avoid serious diseases
like Tetanus
Surgical Wound - A wound from surgery should be treated as soon as possible. If the surgery
resulted in damage, the area needs to be examined for any other mistakes
that may have occurred.
Ulcer - Ulcers are very painful and difficult to get rid of without professional
medical help.
Venous and Arterial Wound - Ulcers in veins and arteries are common in people with diabetes. Antibiotics
may be required to prevent infection.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a non-invasive procedure where the patient
lies comfortably in a chamber containing 100 percent oxygen at pressure
greater than one atmosphere. The oxygen therapy typically lasts about
2 hours receiving regular consistent treatments depending on what your
physician has ordered to help you heal.
Benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include:
Advanced wound healing
Formation of new blood vessels
Diminishing infection
Preparation and preservation of damaged soft tissue
