Advanced Care For Non-Healing Wounds

Wound Care Center Treatment Options

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is a therapy used to increase the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream and the body’s ability to deliver it to cells. Hyperbaric therapy is performed in a chamber pressurized to three times that of normal sea level and filled with pure oxygen.  The high pressure enables the blood to more efficiently deliver the excess oxygen to cells throughout the body to promote healing through increased stimulation of growth factor and stem cells.  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy effectively treats infections, non-healing wounds, some blood vessel conditions, and decompression sickness.

Debridement

Debridement is the removal of skin tissue that is dead or has an infection; the process is used in care for non-healing wounds to assist in recovery. Debridement helps to minimize scarring, reduce some complications of infections, and to stimulate the growth of healthy tissue.

Low-Frequency Ultrasound

Ultrasound as a treatment for wound care is an effective technique that uses low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound for wound debridement, reduced bacterial count, and inflammation. The other benefit of low-frequency ultrasound on wound healing is the stimulation of collagen and growth factor.

Biologic dressings

Biologic wound healing therapies are used to facilitate the re-establishment of the patient’s natural healing mechanisms, and may involve the application of active biological agents, such as plant-derived active biomolecules which exhibit antioxidant, antimicrobial, or anti-inflammatory attributes.

Negative Pressure Therapy (VAC)

Negative pressure wound therapy is a technique used to stimulate the healing of wounds. The therapy is performed with a negative pressure device (vacuum, pump), which removes excess fluid and decreases inflammation, allowing healthy tissue and blood vessels to grow while lowering the chance of infection.

The most common causes of a non-healing wound are an underlying chronic disease, poor circulation, poor nutrition, nerve damage, alcoholism, and drug use.

If a wound has not started the healing process within 14 days, the physician determines if the wound needs specialized care through examination, patient health history, and diagnostic testing.

The most important choice to make when dealing with a non-healing wound is to find a specialized care center for immediate treatment of the wound and to diagnose what is causing the issue and start a long term treatment plan for the underlying issue.
