Chronic non-healing wounds
If a wound has not improved in two to four weeks, something is holding it back. We find out what it is.
How we help
A wound that will not heal is usually a sign of an underlying problem: poor circulation, infection, ongoing pressure, too much moisture, diabetes, nutrition or certain medications.
Our clinicians reassess the wound and the whole patient, identify what is getting in the way, and build a new plan. That may include debridement, different dressings, compression, wound vac, or advanced therapies such as skin substitutes when they are medically necessary — always with close follow-up.
Who it helps
- Wounds with little or no progress after two to four weeks
