Treatment Options
Our wound treatment specialists develop a comprehensive treatment plan customized for you to promote quick and complete healing. With our advanced therapies and procedures, we get you back to enjoying life again.
Treatments:
- Advanced Wound Dressings: Designed to treat more complex wounds including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous insufficiency ulcers and infected wounds.
- Compression Therapy: Increases the pressure in the tissue under the skin and reduces swelling by moving the excess fluid.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Uses 100% oxygen to treat more severe wounds that fail to heal. Click here to learn more.
- LUNA Fluorescence Angiography System: Assists wound care specialists in determining the best care pathways for patients and allows for visual assessment of blood flow quality to extremities and chronic non-healing wounds.
- Orthotics and Prostheses: Custom-made braces and artificial limbs that help relieve pressure on wounds.
- Sensilase PAD IQ: Uses pressure cuffs and sensors that send light or sound through the skin and into capillaries and arteries to measure blood flow in the legs and feet for patients with PAD and diabetes.
- Skin Muscle Grafts: Surgical procedure that transplants the patient’s own muscle/skin to use as a protective covering for wounds.
- Tissue Engineering: Uses a combination of cells and materials to improve or replace biological functions for the repair of damaged tissues and organs.
- Total Contact Casts: Reduces weight off the foot in patients with diabetic foot ulcers to reduce pressure on the wound.
- Transcutaneous Oxygen Measurements (TCOM): Non-invasive procedure that measures the oxygen level of the tissue below the skin and blood flow to the tissue, which is crucial for wound healing.
- Ultrasonic Debridement: Used to remove dead tissue and reduce bacteria.
- Vacuum-assisted Closure (Wound Vac): Vacuum-assisted drainage to remove blood or fluid from a wound.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to treat severe wounds that fail to heal, such as those related to diabetes or radiation from cancer treatments. Breathing 100 percent oxygen under pressure inside the hyperbaric chamber allows oxygen to reach the damaged tissue of severe wounds to help them heal properly.
Conditions Treated:
- Acute carbon monoxide poisoning
- Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
- Compromised tissue grafts/flaps
- Crush injuries
- Decompression sickness
- Diabetic wounds
- Exceptional blood loss
- Gas gangrene
- Necrotizing infections
- Radiation wounds and necrosis
- Refractory osteomyelitis
