Wound Care Treatments

Our center offers the latest wound care treatments. Your care team may recommend one or more techniques, including:

  • Debridement, which is the removal of dead or damaged tissue to optimize healing.
  • Dressings and wraps tailored to the type of wound you have.
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where you sit inside an enclosed, pressurized compartment (called a hyperbaric oxygen chamber) breathing concentrated levels of oxygen.
  • Bioengineered tissue substitutes using tissues grown in a laboratory to rebuild a damaged area.
  • Platelet growth technologies, which harness properties in your blood to stimulate healing.

What to Expect

Initial Check-In
Before your first appointment, a member of our team will call you to learn more about the type of care you need. We may ask you questions about your wound and overall health.
Your First Appointment
Our team of doctors, nurses and therapists will do an exam and review your health and medical history. We may recommend tests to assess factors such as the level of oxygen in your blood or a possible infection. These details help our team learn more about why a wound isn't healing.
Personalized Treatment Plan
To best address your needs, we develop a treatment plan based on your test results and evaluation. Your provider may recommend frequent visits to our center so that we can check your progress and revise your treatment plan, if needed.
Coordination with Your Doctor
We regularly update your referring doctor's office on the details of your treatment, so they can continue your follow-up care when it's safe to do so.
