Comprehensive Treatment Plans
The Center for Wound Care comprehensive approach to wound management utilizes the latest clinical tools and traditional clinical practices. Individualized treatment plans may include specialized wound dressings, debridement, compression therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, prescription growth factors, bio-engineered skin grafting, edema management, and non-invasive vascular assessment.
We utilize physician-led state of the art treatments to facilitate the healing process for a variety of acute and chronic wounds including:
• Pressure ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Venous and arterial ulcers
• Burns
• Non-healing wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Peristomal skin breakdown
• Ostomy Management
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) helps the body’s oxygen-dependent, wound-healing mechanisms function more efficiently. While enclosed in a chamber at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure, patients breathe pure oxygen, saturating their blood plasma and allowing it to carry from 15 to 20 times the normal amount of healing oxygen to the body’s tissues. Up to 18 percent of wound care patients undergo HBOT treatments.
*Approved indications for HBOT:
• Diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities
• Soft tissue radionecrosis and osteoradionecrosis
• Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
• Compromised skin grafts and flaps
• Actinomycosis
• Crush injury/acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
• Progressive necrotizing infections [necrotizing fasciitis]
• Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
* treatments are currently reimbursed by Medicare, HMOs, and other insurance providers (check with your individual provider prior to scheduling.)
Mist Therapy
MIST THERAPY is a noncontact, low-frequency ultrasound that painlessly penetrates into and below the wound bed to remove healing barriers and stimulate cells to accelerate healing.
