Conventional and Specialty Dressings

Conventional dressings and proper wound care techniques can heal many chronic wounds. Depending on your wound's complexity, treatment may require specialty dressings, growth factors or bio-engineered tissue products. Debridement is the removal of dead tissue from a wound. Our physicians may debride your wounds as necessary, allowing healthy tissues to grow.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

If wounds aren't getting enough oxygen to heal, hyperbaric therapy could be the answer. During this painless therapy, you will receive 100% oxygen in an increased atmospheric pressure environment.

Compression Therapy

Venous insufficiency – a chronic condition that causes painful leg swelling – can make it difficult for leg and foot wounds to heal. Compression therapy uses several layers of dressings wrapped around the legs, helping relieve swelling and heal wounds.

Education

Our care team will educate you on topics such as proper wound care, nutrition, diabetes, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and wound prevention throughout your treatment.

Case Management

If you require specialty services during your treatment, we will coordinate care with services such as home health, nutritional counseling, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and orthotics. Our expert staff of physicians, nurses and technicians find the underlying cause of a wound and provide advanced therapies tailored to each meet patient’s needs. The Center offers both inpatient and outpatient services, offering a convenient way for working individuals to receive treatment.
