These are serious complications of diabetes, caused by the breakdown of skin tissue due to poor circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy). The ulcers typically form on pressure points of the feet, exposing deeper layers such as fat, muscle, or even bone. If left untreated, they can lead to infection and, in severe cases, amputation.
Venous leg ulcers develop when chronic venous insufficiency causes blood to pool in the lower limbs. This results in increased venous pressure and fluid leakage into surrounding tissues, eventually causing the skin to break down and form open sores. These ulcers often appear around the ankles and are typically slow to heal without targeted therapy.
Lacerations are deep cuts or tears through the full thickness of the skin, and in more severe cases, they may extend into subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone. They often result from trauma and require prompt and precise wound care to prevent infection, minimize scarring, and support proper healing.
Wound dehiscence refers to the partial or complete reopening of a surgical incision after it has been closed. This condition is commonly triggered by factors such as infection, poor suturing, or excessive strain on the wound site. Dehiscence requires immediate attention to avoid further tissue damage, delayed healing, or systemic complications.
We treat chronic wounds—such as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers—through a comprehensive, evidence-based approach focused on healing and long-term prevention. Our care begins with a thorough wound assessment, followed by precise debridement to remove dead tissue, infection control using advanced antimicrobial treatments, and the application of specialized dressings that promote optimal healing conditions. For pressure relief and circulation improvement, we implement offloading techniques for diabetic ulcers and compression therapy for venous ulcers. We also address underlying health factors by supporting nutritional needs, managing blood sugar, and coordinating with primary care providers. Throughout the process, we provide patient education and continuous monitoring to ensure progress, reduce recurrence, and restore quality of life.
We treat acute wounds—such as surgical incisions and traumatic injuries—using a prompt, structured, and medically advanced approach to ensure rapid healing and minimize complications. Our treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of the wound’s depth, location, and cause, followed by careful cleaning and, if necessary, surgical debridement to remove contaminants or damaged tissue. We apply appropriate dressings to maintain a moist healing environment, reduce pain, and protect against infection. When needed, we use sutures, staples, or advanced closure techniques to support proper tissue alignment. Infection prevention is a priority, supported by sterile technique and antibiotic therapy when indicated. We also provide pain management, wound monitoring, and patient education to ensure proper home care and follow-up, promoting efficient healing, minimizing scarring, and reducing the risk of wound dehiscence or secondary complications.
Initiates with clot formation to control bleeding and serves as the foundation for subsequent healing stages.
Involves the activation of neutrophils and macrophages to remove bacteria, foreign material, and necrotic tissue through processes such as phagocytosis.
I don't know about that characterized by angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, fibroblast proliferation, and granulation tissue development, culminating and re-epithelialization.
Focuses on extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, scar maturation, and tensile strength restoration.
