We want our patients to live without restrictions as much as possible, which is why our doctors are capable of chronic wound treatment and other limb-saving measures that promote independent and active living.
Our team values our patients’ ability to live without restrictions, so we prioritize the preservation of limb health and work diligently to promote as much independence and activity as possible. Schedule a consultation with your doctor to learn more about your options. Our services range from early intervention to non-healing wound treatments.
Creating effective treatment plans for chronic, non-healing wounds begins with a thorough assessment of each wound’s unique characteristics. Initial interventions involve meticulous wound cleansing using a gentle saline solution and application of fresh dressings. Additionally, the removal of necrotic or inflamed tissue through debridement fosters a conducive environment for healing. To combat bacterial infections, your physician may prescribe targeted antibiotics.
Should the wound persist despite initial measures, more advanced therapies may be recommended. These may include innovative approaches such as negative pressure wound therapy or hyperbaric oxygen therapy, aimed at accelerating the healing process and restoring tissue integrity.
Venous ulcers, a common consequence of compromised blood circulation, demand prompt and attentive care to prevent severe complications like gangrene and limb loss. Our dedicated team collaborates closely with you to devise tailored treatment strategies based on the precise location and severity of your wound.
Some effective interventions in promoting wound healing include:
Compression Therapy
By applying controlled pressure to the affected area, compression therapy aids in reducing swelling and improving blood flow, thereby facilitating the healing process.
Growth Factors
Harnessing the body’s natural healing mechanisms, growth factors can be administered to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, fostering accelerated wound closure.
Vacuum-Assisted Closure
This innovative technique involves the application of negative pressure to the wound bed, promoting drainage of excess fluid and enhancing tissue granulation, ultimately expediting healing.
Utilizing a comprehensive approach to wound care, we equip you with the tools to take charge of your health and recovery. Schedule an appointment to us today to begin your path toward achieving optimal limb preservation and restoration.
