Wound Conditions We Treat
Diabetic foot ulcers (neuropathic, ischemic, and neuroischemic ulcers): Leading cause of lower-limb amputation; we provide advanced limb-preserving treatment including offloading, advanced dressings, cellular tissue products, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for Wagner grade III or higher ulcers. Venous leg ulcers: Chronic wounds caused by venous insufficiency and venous hypertension; treated with graduated compression therapy, advanced dressings, and treatment of underlying venous disease. Pressure injuries (bedsores): Stage I through Stage IV pressure ulcers in bedridden or mobility-limited patients; we provide evidence-based staging, pressure offloading, specialized wound dressings, and nutritional support. Arterial ulcers: Ischemic wounds from peripheral arterial disease; we coordinate with vascular specialists for revascularization and optimize circulation to promote wound closure. Surgical wounds: Post-surgical wound dehiscence, infection, and delayed healing requiring immediate specialist intervention with advanced wound closure techniques. Burn wounds: Precision debridement, infection control, and skin restoration using advanced biologic dressings and skin substitutes for optimal scar outcomes. Open Mohs wounds: Large or slow-healing wounds after Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer; we support full healing with minimal scarring in outpatient setting. Radiation injuries: Radiation tissue damage including cystitis, proctitis, osteoradionecrosis, and soft tissue necrosis; HBOT is gold-standard treatment for restoring oxygen delivery to hypoxic irradiated tissue. Osteomyelitis: Bone infections requiring aggressive multidisciplinary management combining antibiotic therapy, surgical coordination, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to eradicate infection and protect bone. Osteoradionecrosis: Radiation-induced bone necrosis (particularly jaw); treated with HBOT and coordinated surgical care. Workers' compensation injuries: Workplace injuries resulting in non-healing wounds; we provide specialist care with thorough clinical documentation supporting injured workers from evaluation through return to function. Amputation wounds: Post-amputation wound care for infection prevention and prosthetic fitting; we optimize residual limb healing for functional mobility and early prosthetic fitting. Acute and chronic wounds: Non-healing wounds requiring specialist diagnosis to identify root causes including poor circulation, infection, nutritional deficiency, or immune compromise. Traumatic wounds: Wounds from accidents, workplace injuries, crush trauma, or lacerations that fail to heal; we address infection, tissue loss, and complex wound closure to restore full function.
Advanced Wound Care Therapies
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): 100% pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure stimulates angiogenesis and enhances healing for diabetic lower extremity wounds and radiation tissue injuries. Debridement: Sharp, enzymatic, and ultrasonic removal of necrotic tissue and biofilm prepares wound bed for healing. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): Vacuum-assisted closure devices remove exudate, reduce edema, and accelerate wound closure. Cellular Tissue Products (Skin Substitutes): Bioengineered grafts and amniotic membrane allografts provide extracellular matrix scaffolding for non-healing wounds. Advanced Wound Dressings: Antimicrobial, moisture-retentive, and bioactive dressings matched to wound characteristics. Compression Therapy: Graduated compression bandaging for venous leg ulcers reduces venous hypertension. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Growth factor injections from patient's own blood stimulate tissue regeneration. Ultrasonic Mist Therapy: Low-frequency ultrasound for deep wound cleaning and debridement.
