Our Wound Care Services

Pressure ulcers, commonly known as bedsores, develop when sustained pressure on the skin reduces blood flow to the tissue. They most often affect patients who are bedridden, use a wheelchair, or have limited mobility. Without proper treatment, pressure ulcers can progress rapidly and lead to serious complications including infection and sepsis.

Our wound care specialists are experienced in treating pressure ulcers at every stage:

• Stage 1: Non-blanchable redness on intact skin — early intervention to prevent progression
• Stage 2: Partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis — wound bed management and protective dressings
• Stage 3: Full-thickness skin loss exposing subcutaneous fat — advanced wound care and debridement
• Stage 4: Full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle — intensive treatment and coordination with your medical team
• Unstageable and Deep Tissue Injury: Wounds obscured by slough or eschar, or injuries where damage extends beneath the surface

Each visit includes a thorough assessment, wound cleansing, debridement when necessary, application of appropriate dressings, and education for patients and caregivers on prevention and positioning techniques.

Diabetic foot ulcers are one of the most common and serious complications of diabetes. Reduced blood flow and nerve damage (neuropathy) make the feet vulnerable to wounds that heal slowly and can become infected without careful management. Left untreated, these ulcers are a leading cause of lower-extremity amputation.

Our in-home diabetic wound care approach includes:

• Comprehensive wound assessment including vascular status evaluation
• Debridement to remove nonviable tissue and promote a healthy wound bed
• Selection of appropriate moisture-balancing dressings
• Offloading strategies to relieve pressure on the affected foot
• Infection monitoring and early intervention
• Patient education on blood sugar management, foot inspection, and proper footwear

We coordinate closely with your endocrinologist, podiatrist, and primary care physician to ensure aligned, effective treatment. Our goal is to promote healing while minimizing the risk of recurrence and complications.

Venous leg ulcers result from chronic venous insufficiency — when the veins in the legs don't effectively return blood to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the lower legs, leading to increased pressure, skin changes, and eventually open wounds that are painful, slow to heal, and prone to recurrence.

Our treatment approach addresses both the wound and the underlying circulatory condition:

• Thorough wound assessment and vascular evaluation
• Application of compression bandaging systems to improve venous return
• Advanced wound dressings selected for optimal moisture balance and comfort
• Edema management through elevation and compression strategies
• Skin care for surrounding tissue to prevent further breakdown
• Patient guidance on activity, leg elevation, and compression stocking use after healing

Compression therapy is the gold standard for venous leg ulcer treatment, and our specialists are trained in multi-layer compression systems to provide effective, comfortable care in your home.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), commonly known as wound vac therapy, uses controlled negative pressure applied to a wound bed through a sealed dressing to promote healing. The therapy draws out excess fluid, reduces edema, increases blood flow to the wound, and stimulates the formation of new tissue.

Our wound vac therapy services include:

• Initial wound vac placement and setup in your home
• Regular dressing changes (typically 2-3 times per week)
• Equipment monitoring and troubleshooting
• Wound assessment and progress documentation at each visit
• Coordination with your physician for treatment adjustments
• Patient and caregiver education on wound vac management between visits

Wound vac therapy is effective for a wide range of wounds including surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure ulcers. Receiving NPWT at home means you can recover in comfort while receiving the same advanced care you'd get in a clinical setting.

For chronic or complex wounds that don't respond to conventional treatment, we offer advanced biologic therapies including skin substitutes, cellular tissue products, and bioengineered skin grafts. These cutting-edge treatments harness regenerative medicine to accelerate healing.

Advanced biologic options we provide include:

• Amniotic membrane products: Rich in growth factors and anti-inflammatory properties, these products support tissue regeneration and reduce scarring
• Cellular tissue products: Living cell-based therapies that provide the building blocks for new skin growth
• Bioengineered skin substitutes: Advanced materials that mimic natural skin structure to promote wound closure
• Collagen-based dressings: Support the wound healing cascade by providing a scaffold for new tissue formation

These therapies are particularly effective for wounds that have stalled in the healing process. Our specialists evaluate each wound carefully and work with your physician to determine if advanced biologics are the right option for your treatment plan.
