Wound Care

Five million Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds that linger despite conventional medical management.  Proper wound care prevents infection and other complications and also helps speed up the healing process.  

There are a variety of circumstances in which a person needs wound care. They include, but are not limited to:

• Diabetic wounds that are slow-to-heal or not healing
• Surgical wounds that have opened (or “dehisced”)
• Wounds caused by poor circulation (arterial insufficiency)
• Skin damage or open sores caused by radiation treatment possibly even many years ago that is now causing the skin and tissue to “break down”
• Skin grafts or surgical flaps that are not healing post-surgery
