During your initial visit to the Wound Treatment Center, our staff
will conduct a thorough review of your medical and surgical history,
allergies, present and past therapies for existing wounds and list
of medications. Depending on the type of wound, testing techniques
may include imaging studies and blood flow testing – all
which serve as a valuable screening tool. These tests will help
us to determine and develop the best plan of care for you.
Existing wounds will be measured at every visit and photographed
initially and during your course of treatment to measure improvement
or to determine if a change in treatment course is necessary.
Pharmacological approaches used by the Wound Treatment physicians
may include any one of the following approaches:
- Topical antibacterial agents
- Chemical debridement agents
- Growth factors
- Analgesics
- Collagen
Our caring wound team will support you throughout your journey
of wound healing. We will implement a customized plan that focuses
on the underlying condition(s) that are responsible for the delayed
healing process. Because our approach is one that treats the “whole” person
we address not only healing, but long-term resolution. In addition
to your wound treatment center plan of care, your family and/or
primary care physician is updated on a periodic basis as to your
healing progress.
