Wound Care
Advanced treatment for chronic wounds.
Millions of people are affected by hard-to-heal wounds, resulting from poor circulation, diabetes, trauma, heart/vascular disease, or immune system problems. But there’s no reason to live with a non-healing wound – our team at Memorial Wound Care can help.
Memorial Wound Care, together with Healogics®, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services, delivers comprehensive wound care plans for those suffering from chronic, non-healing wounds. Our team was recently recognized with the Center of Distinction award by Healogics for the seventh year in a row! This award is for outstanding clinical outcomes for twelve consecutive months, including a patient satisfaction rate higher than 98%.
With our caring staff, specialized treatment plans, and advanced, state-of-the-art equipment, we have what our patients need to get back on their feet again. Our experts have years of experience caring for people whose wounds have resisted traditional treatment.
Our advanced wound care services include
- negative pressure wound therapy
- total contact casting
- bio-engineered tissues
- biosynthetic dressings
- growth factor therapies
- hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Our Wound Care Center features two hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers that work by surrounding the patient with 100% oxygen to help progress the healing of the wound. While enclosed in a chamber at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure, patients breathe pure oxygen, saturating their blood plasma and allowing it to carry 15 to 20 times the normal amount of healing oxygen to the body’s tissues.
There are many medical conditions that often result in the need for wound care – if you or a loved one have any of these conditions, it is important to follow all treatment plans to decrease the risk of a non-healing wound.
- Diabetes
- Amputation
- Infection
- Neuropathy
- Peripheral Vascular Disease
- Radiation effects
- Ulcers, including pressure and cancerous types
So when should we seek treatment for a wound? Review this checklist to determine when to see a wound specialist at Memorial Wound Care:
- Do you have a wound that has not healed in 30 days?
- Do you have a sore with increasing pain, redness or swelling, or a change in color?
- Do you have a surgical wound that has become infected?
- Do you have diabetes or circulation problems, and have a wound below the knee?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your wound may require special treatment and care. Our specialized clinicians and advanced services can help assist in healing.
All of the providers at our Wound Care Center are accepting new patients or referrals – please contact the office for more information.
