Wound Care Services (4pg)

Do you have a wound that isn’t healing properly?

If you do, you’re not alone. It could be an ulcer on your foot or a burn not healing after a month. An estimated 6.5 million Americans suffer from a non-healing wound serious enough to require professional treatment. Our Wound Care program provides a comprehensive range of treatment options, including topical medications, specialized dressings, compression wrapping, patient education and nutritional counseling, which is especially important for diabetics.

Serious Consequences
Wounds that fail to heal are often associated with underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, infection and vascular disease. The problem is even more serious for diabetics, whose wounds heal more slowly and can quickly become worse without warning. In fact, 60 percent of non-traumatic lower limb amputations in the United States are performed on people with diabetes.
So remember: If you have a wound or sore that is not significantly improving, you need to see your doctor or other healthcare professional.
