Workers' CompWound CareSan Antonio

Workplace wounds — from lacerations and punctures to burns, crush injuries, and infected wounds — need timely care to prevent complications and support safe recovery. Our physician-led team treats work-related wounds and coordinates with employers, adjusters, case managers, and referring providers when needed to support your care plan and documentation.

Why It Matters

Workplace Wounds Are Complex.They Require Specialist Care.

Traumatic workplace wounds are not simply cuts and scrapes. They often involve deep tissue damage, contamination, crush injury, and compromised blood flow — factors that dramatically increase the risk of infection, delayed healing, and permanent functional impairment.

Without specialist-level wound management, even injuries that appear minor can develop into chronic, non-healing wounds that extend time off work, complicate workers' comp claims, and permanently affect quality of life. Early, expert intervention prevents that outcome.

Warning Signs

Don't wait — seek specialist care

A work-related wound that has not improved after 2–4 weeks of standard treatment
Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or pain around a wound site
Drainage, foul odor, or signs of infection at a workplace injury
A laceration, crush injury, or puncture wound that is not closing properly
Wound edges pulling apart after initial closure (dehiscence)
Deep tissue, tendon, or bone visible at the wound base
Numbness, loss of motion, severe pain, or a wound involving the hand, foot, face, joint, or a major burn should be evaluated urgently
Your Healing Plan

Your Personalized Workers' Comp Wound Healing Plan

01

Comprehensive Wound Evaluation & Documentation

We perform a thorough wound assessment — measuring size, depth, tissue quality, and infection status — and provide detailed clinical documentation to support your workers' comp claim, ensuring your care is properly recorded from day one.

02

Infection Prevention & Management

Workplace injuries frequently involve contamination from tools, machinery, chemicals, or outdoor environments. We culture wounds early, apply targeted antimicrobials, and prescribe systemic antibiotics when needed to stop infection before it delays your recovery.

03

Wound Debridement & Cleansing

Traumatic wounds often contain foreign material, devitalized tissue, and debris that must be removed for healing to begin. Our physicians use precise debridement techniques — sharp, enzymatic, or mechanical — to create a clean wound bed ready to close.

04

Advanced Wound Dressings

We select the optimal dressing for each wound's stage, drainage level, and tissue type — from antimicrobial silver and foam dressings to specialized closure products — changed on the right schedule to maintain the ideal healing environment and minimize pain.

05

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)

For larger traumatic wounds, degloving injuries, or wounds that require complex closure, wound VAC therapy draws edges together, removes excess fluid, and stimulates granulation tissue — significantly accelerating healing and reducing infection risk.

06

Biologic & Cellular Tissue Products

For select non-healing wounds that have not progressed despite standard care, biologic skin substitutes or amnion/chorion membrane allografts may be considered after proper wound-bed preparation and when underlying barriers to healing have been addressed.

07

HBOT Evaluation When Medically Appropriate

For select work-related wounds with qualifying medical indications, our physician-led team may evaluate whether HBOT could support healing as part of a broader wound care plan. HBOT is not used for every workplace wound and does not replace debridement, infection control, vascular evaluation, pressure relief, or standard wound care.

08

Return-to-Work Coordination

We provide wound documentation and coordinate with case managers, adjusters, employers, and referring providers when appropriate to support treatment authorization, work-status communication, and safe return-to-work planning.
