Wound Care

Find healing and relief with advanced treatment for complex and chronic wounds.

Why Choose Us For Wound Care?

Infection Control:

Effective wound healing depends on preventing and treating infections. Our methods include thorough cleaning, regular dressing changes, and antibiotics when necessary.

Wound and swelling management:

We use compression therapy, specialized dressings and elevation to treat swelling and ensure healing.

Pain-reducing wound dressings:

We use special gels and other dressings that offer pain relief, stimulate healing and encourage removal of dead skin.

Surgical wound debridement:

Our surgeons remove dead skin and tissue (debriding) to make room for new skin and encourage the healing process. Skin
and tissue removal also reduces the risk of infection.

Reconstructive surgery:

Some complex wounds require surgery. Skin grafts involve implanting healthy skin on a wound. Flaps are the transfer of healthy skin and connected blood vessels to the wound.
