Wound Care Center

A wound care center offers specialized treatment for chronic wounds. A chronic wound is defined as one that does not heal or improve with conventional treatment. It is caused by a variety of factors, including poor circulation, poorly functioning veins, and immobility. It can affect a person’s quality of life and may result in amputation.

Wound care centers specialize in treating a variety of conditions, including pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and infections. They also offer advanced treatments, including negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, and bio-engineered tissues. They also use an interdisciplinary model of care to manage a patient’s wounds and their complications. For example, their team includes experts in infection management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutritional management, pain management, and diabetes education.
