Wound treatment options
Typically, wounds that don't respond to medical care within 30 days are chronic wounds. These can be a sign of diabetes, and are often associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins or immobility. Chronic wounds may lead to infection or complications if left untreated.
If you have a chronic or nonhealing wound, we will work with you and your doctor to deliver a full range of resources, including:
- Access to a wide variety of wound dressing selections
- Assessment and continued care by our highly skilled team
- Case manager who will oversee every aspect of your treatment
- Debridement to remove damaged or dead tissues
- Education to help recovery at home
- HBOT for wounds that otherwise may not improve on their own
- Personalized care plan to help meet all your specific medical needs
HBOT
During each treatment session of HBOT, you will enter a specialized hyperbaric chamber that allows you to breathe in 100% oxygen. The pure oxygen enters the bloodstream, which accelerates the body's natural recuperation process and aids in the treatment of problematic, nonhealing wounds.
By treating your wound from the inside out, HBOT offers potential improvements over traditional wound care methods, including:
- Ability to fight infection
- Accelerated healing rate
- Enhanced circulation
- Growth of new blood cells
Please ask your physician about being referred to our facility. For more information, or to schedule an assessment, you can contact our wound care center directly at (603) 330-7914.
