What is wound care?

Wound care involves medical assessment, treatment, and management of injuries or chronic wounds to promote healing and prevent infection. Chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers or pressure sores, require specialized care to avoid complications and improve overall health outcomes.

Who can benefit from wound care?

Wound care is appropriate for patients with:

  • Chronic or non-healing wounds

  • Surgical or traumatic wounds

  • Diabetic foot ulcers or neuropathic ulcers

  • Pressure sores (bedsores) or skin breakdown

  • Infected wounds or wounds at risk of infection

  • Vascular or circulation-related wounds

Early evaluation and treatment can significantly improve healing and prevent serious complications.

How are wounds assessed?

At Advanced Health Associates, wound assessment may include:

  • Comprehensive physical examination of the wound and surrounding tissue

  • Medical history review to identify contributing conditions (e.g., diabetes, vascular disease)

  • Diagnostic tests such as blood tests, imaging, or cultures to guide treatment

  • Evaluation of circulation and tissue health to optimize healing

Accurate assessment ensures a tailored treatment plan for each patient.

How is wound care managed?

Treatment is personalized based on the type and severity of the wound and may include:

  • Cleansing and dressing changes to maintain a sterile environment

  • Debridement to remove dead tissue and promote healing

  • Infection control with topical or oral antibiotics if needed

  • Advanced therapies such as negative pressure wound therapy (wound vac), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or specialized dressings

  • Patient education on proper home care and prevention strategies

The goal is to promote faster healing, prevent infection, and restore skin integrity.

What are the benefits of professional wound care?

  • Accelerated healing of chronic or complex wounds

  • Reduced risk of infection and complications

  • Prevention of amputation or further tissue damage in high-risk patients

  • Improved comfort and quality of life

  • Education and support for long-term wound prevention
