Wound Care

Conditions Treated:

• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Non-healing wounds
• Minor burns
• Infected wounds
• Delayed radiation wounds
• Non-healing amputation or surgical site dehiscence

Before the Procedure::

Your care team will evaluate your wound, overall health, and medical history to determine the best treatment plan. You may undergo imaging or lab tests to check for infection or poor circulation. The wound will be cleaned and measured, and you’ll receive instructions about medications, nutrition, and caring for the wound at home before treatment begins.

After the Procedure:

You may experience mild discomfort or drainage as healing begins. The treated area will be covered with a special dressing or device, and you’ll receive detailed wound care instructions. Follow-up visits are essential to monitor progress, change dressings, and adjust treatment as needed. Most patients notice gradual improvement in pain, drainage, and tissue health over time.

Conditions Treated:

• Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
• Crush injuries and suturing of severed limbs
• Progressive necrotizing infections (necrotizing fasciitis, gas gangrene, etc.)
• Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
• Preparation and preservation of compromised skin grafts
• Chronic osteomyelitis unresponsive to conventional medical and surgical management
• Osteoradionecrosis
• Soft tissue radionecrosis
• Actinomycosis, unresponsive to conventional antibiotics and surgical treatment
• Diabetic foot wounds in patients with the following three criteria:
  • Type I or Type II diabetes
  • Foot wound is due to diabetes
  • Current or prior presence of deep infection (Wagner Grade 3 or higher)
  • Poor healing despite an adequate course of standard wound therapy for at least 30 days

Before the Procedure::

Before starting HBOT, your provider will review your medical history and perform an exam to ensure the treatment is safe for you. You may need imaging or lab tests, and you’ll receive instructions about clothing, medications, and avoiding certain products (like petroleum-based lotions). The care team will explain what to expect inside the pressurized chamber and answer any questions.

After the Procedure:

After treatment, you may feel lightheaded or tired for a short time, which usually resolves quickly. Your ears may feel “full,” similar to changes in air pressure during a flight. The care team will monitor you briefly before you leave and schedule follow-up sessions as needed. Over time, HBOT supports healing, reduces inflammation, and improves oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.

Conditions Treated:

• Non-healing wounds
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Compromised skin grafts or flaps
• Minor burns
• Infected wounds
• Non-healing amputation or surgical site dehiscence

Before the Procedure::

Your provider will evaluate your wound and overall health to determine if NPWT is appropriate. The area will be cleaned and prepared, and you’ll be shown how the dressing and vacuum system work. The team will explain how often dressings need to be changed and what signs of infection or leakage to watch for at home.

After the Procedure:

Once NPWT is applied, you’ll feel gentle suction from the device, which helps draw the wound edges together. The dressing and tubing must stay sealed for the therapy to work effectively. You may carry or wear the small pump continuously, even while moving around. Regular dressing changes and follow-up visits will monitor healing progress and ensure the wound remains clean and healthy.

Conditions Treated:

• Non-healing wounds
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Non-healing amputation or surgical site dehiscence
• Infected wounds
• Minor burns
• Delayed radiation wounds

Before the Procedure::

Your care team will examine your wound, review your medical history, and determine the best method of debridement or cautery. You may need imaging or lab tests to check for infection or circulation issues. The area will be cleaned, and local anesthesia or sedation may be used to keep you comfortable during the procedure.

After the Procedure:

You may experience mild soreness, redness, or drainage as the wound begins to heal. A special dressing or topical medication will be applied to protect the area and prevent infection. Follow-up visits are important to monitor healing and repeat debridement if needed. Over time, the wound bed becomes cleaner and healthier, supporting faster tissue repair.
