Wound Care Center
Your Treatment Program
Wounds, due to their complex nature, require an individualized course of treatment to promote healing. We offer the expertise and technology to support the needs of our patients. Generally treatments are covered by Medicare/Medicaid and most health plans.
Your treatment plan will be overseen by one of our staff physicians and a nurse case manager will be your primary contact at the Wound Healing Center. Some of the following treatments may be included in your treatment plan:
Wound Dressings. Specific wound care products will be chosen for your wound depending on your needs. Proper dressing can go a long way to promote healing.
Wound Debridement. This minor surgical procedure enhances the growth of healthy tissues in the wound, creating an environment that leads to healing. Your physician will also use the latest monitoring techniques to measure your progress.
Transcutaneous Oxy/gen Monitoring. This test records the level of oxygen available to your wound. The more oxygen your wound gets, the quicker healing can be complete.
Doppler Evaluation of Pulses. This technique measures the blood flow available to bring nutrients and medications to the wound. The better the blood flow is, the quicker healing will occur.
