Treatment for Chronic, Non-Healing Wounds
Steele Memorial Medical Center is proud to work with Healogics, Inc., the nation’s largest provider of advanced chronic wound care treatments, in order to provide specialized, state-of-the-art treatment for patients with non-healing wounds.
Using an interdisciplinary plan of care, we help patients prevent infections, regain their mobility after an injury, and build a diet to stimulate the healing process, among other services. We are committed to helping you make a complete recovery from your injury.
Wound Care Expertise
In the U.S., about 6.5 million individuals suffer from chronic wounds. Whether you have a wound that won’t heal, sores that are painful and persistent or surgical wounds that have become infected, we can help.
When wounds persist, a specialized approach is required for healing. Typically, a wound that doesn’t respond to normal medical care within 30 days is considered a problem or chronic wound. Associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins and immobility, non-healing wounds may lead to lower quality of life, amputations and potentially death if not treated properly.
With the state-of-the-art treatments and innovative equipment available at Steele Memorial Wound Care Clinic, such as debridement (removing objects or damaged tissue from wounds), advanced dressing selection and pressure-relieving devices, people with non-healing and chronic wounds have a place to turn.
Conditions we treat include sores, surgical wounds, burns, ulcers and much more. Our specialists perform thorough evaluations to determine why your wounds resist healing. Working with you, we’ll tailor a treatment plan with your needs in mind.
What is a Chronic Wound?
Wounds that show no signs of healing after a month and fail to respond to traditional treatments are considered chronic or non-healing wounds.
Chronic wounds such as ulcers are painful. They can cause stress and impact your overall physical and emotional health. If a wound remains painful for more than 30 days, has a bad odor or is red or inflamed, please seek treatment.
Oxygen in the blood plays a major role in the wound healing process. Conditions that inhibit blood flow, like diabetes, also make it harder for us to heal and increase the chances of developing chronic wounds. It is important that you have these wounds tended to by a medical professional as soon as it becomes apparent that it is not going to heal. Open wounds are at high risk of developing infections, which can lead to a variety of even more serious complications.
The Treatment Process
At the Steele Memorial Wound Care Clinic, our team includes providers with advanced training in wound management backed up with nurses and technicians specially trained in chronic wound care.
Most patients are accepted to the clinic based on referrals from their provider. During the initial appointment, our team performs a thorough evaluation to better understand the patient’s medical history and condition. Following this assessment, a treatment program tailored for your unique needs is created. You are part of our wound care team, and together we can reduce the risk of serious complications and accelerate healing.
Your Wound Care Plan May Include:
- Lab and diagnostic image testing
- Topical wound therapy
- Specialized Dressings
- Debridement
- Tissue therapy
- Education on wound management
In addition to these treatments, we’ll provide educational resources to help you keep wounds clean and free from infection at home.
