Defining Wounds and Treatment Needs
A wound is a break in the skin or tissues that may be caused by an accident, injury, surgery, disease, or several other factors, and often involves bleeding, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, and other symptoms. They may occur nearly anywhere on the body. While many wounds can be treated at home by simply cleaning and bandaging the wound, more severe wounds may require professional care.
Challenges in Wound Healing
Many patients with skin ulcers, burns, and other types of wounds face difficulty with the healing process for these troubling wounds, especially if the patient is diabetic. There are several different treatment options available for wounds resistant to conventional therapies. Some of these may include creams, ointments, synthetic skin grafts, and other therapies that promote natural healing within the skin to avoid wound complications.
Advanced Wound Solutions
We are proud to offer patients many advanced solutions to their wound healing problems. It is important for wounds to remain clean and free of debris and bacteria in order to properly heal and prevent infection, so proper dressings that are changed on a regular basis are essential. We provide wound care treatment that is conducive to healing and helps lead toward a quick and efficient recovery, while keeping cosmetic concerns in mind as well.
