Advanced treatment
Our advanced wound care treatments incorporate innovative techniques to accelerate healing, prevent infection, and improve long-term outcomes.
Starting with a complete medical history and assessment to identify the reasons your wound is resistant to healing, our team will develop an individualized plan of care for you. Treatments might include:
Removal of damaged tissue
Vacuum-assisted closure
Bioengineered skin for chronic wounds
For venous ulcers and lymphedema
For complex wounds
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is sometimes used as an add-on therapy for particularly challenging wounds or radiation tissue damage from treatments such as chemotherapy. It delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber to increase oxygen flow to tissues, promoting faster healing and reducing infection risk. In combination with other therapies, it has been proven to significantly improve outcomes.
Conditions that can be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy:
- Chronic non-healing wounds
- Radiation tissue damage
- Post-surgical wounds
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Infected bone tissue
- Avascular necrosis (bone tissue death)
Please note: To qualify for HBOT, patients must have had at least 30 days of conventional wound treatment as well as have adequate blood flow to the wound area to make therapy viable.
