Understanding Chronic Wounds

A chronic wound is any wound that fails to heal within the expected timeframe, typically 4-6 weeks. These wounds require specialized care to address underlying causes and promote proper healing.

Without proper treatment, chronic wounds can lead to serious complications including infection, hospitalization, and in severe cases, amputation. Our specialized approach addresses both the wound and contributing factors to achieve lasting healing.

Risk Factors

  • Diabetes and poor blood sugar control
  • Poor circulation (vascular disease)
  • Limited mobility or paralysis
  • Compromised immune system
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Previous radiation therapy

Advanced Treatment Protocols

Wounds We Treat

Our specialists are experienced in treating all types of chronic and acute wounds.

Diabetic Ulcers

Foot and leg ulcers caused by diabetic neuropathy and poor circulation. Early treatment is crucial to prevent complications and potential amputation.

  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Neuropathic wounds
  • Charcot foot wounds

Venous Ulcers

Leg ulcers caused by chronic venous insufficiency, where damaged veins prevent proper blood return to the heart.

  • Venous stasis ulcers
  • Leg swelling wounds
  • Post-thrombotic ulcers

Pressure Injuries

Wounds caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, common in patients with limited mobility or those who are bedridden.

  • Bed sores (decubitus ulcers)
  • Sacral wounds
  • Heel pressure injuries

Arterial Ulcers

Wounds resulting from poor arterial blood flow, often occurring on the feet, toes, and lower legs.

  • Ischemic ulcers
  • Peripheral artery disease wounds

Surgical Wounds

Post-operative wounds that have failed to heal properly or have developed complications.

  • Dehisced incisions
  • Infected surgical sites
  • Non-healing surgical wounds

Traumatic Wounds

Wounds from injuries that have become chronic or complicated by infection or other factors.

  • Burns
  • Skin tears
  • Complex lacerations

Our Treatment Approach

We use a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to wound healing.

1. Comprehensive Assessment

Every treatment plan begins with a thorough evaluation:

  • Complete wound assessment and measurement
  • Medical history and risk factor review
  • Vascular assessment when indicated

  • Infection screening

2. Wound Bed Preparation

Creating the optimal environment for healing:

  • Debridement of non-viable tissue
  • Infection management
  • Moisture balance optimization
  • Edge advancement monitoring

3. Advanced Wound Therapies

Utilizing the latest treatments as appropriate:

  • Advanced wound dressings
  • Compression therapy for venous wounds
  • Offloading for diabetic foot ulcers
  • Negative pressure wound therapy
  • Bioengineered skin substitutes

4. Patient Education

Empowering you for long-term success:

  • Wound care techniques
  • Warning signs to watch for
  • Prevention strategies
  • Lifestyle modifications

Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations. Our specialized diabetic wound care program focuses on healing current wounds while preventing future complications.

Why Diabetic Wounds Need Special Care

Diabetes affects wound healing in multiple ways:

  • Neuropathy – Nerve damage reduces sensation, so injuries may go unnoticed
  • Poor Circulation – Reduced blood flow slows healing and delivery of nutrients
  • Immune Dysfunction – Higher infection risk and slower immune response
  • High Blood Sugar – Impairs white blood cell function

Our Diabetic Wound Protocol

  • Regular foot examinations
  • Proper offloading and footwear recommendations
  • Blood sugar optimization coordination
  • Infection prevention and management
  • Multidisciplinary care coordination
