Wound Care
For millions of Americans, the aging process, diabetes and other medical conditions lead to chronic, non-healing wounds. In some cases, these wounds can take weeks, months or even years to fully heal without treatment. Healing deficiencies lead to complications, including acute pain, infections, lost function and even amputation. Chronic wounds keep you from doing the things you love to do.
The Wound Care Center at Flowers Hospital offers specialized, outpatient medical care and therapy for non-healing wounds. The team of wound care professionals provides treatments to promote healing of chronic wounds and patients recover as quickly as possible.
We balance a practical approach to wound care with progressive treatment options such as bioengineered skin substitutes, therapeutic dressings, debridements, nutrition assessments and hyperbaric oxygen therapy - a medical technology that speeds the delivery of healing oxygen to the body's tissues.
To determine the best course of wound healing treatment, we will do a thorough evaluation of your wound and current health status. Health care professionals who specialize in wound care will educate you about the cause of your wound, and keep you informed throughout the healing process.
They will provide information on how to:
- Prevent wounds from happening
- Care for your wound
- Recognize early warning signs of complications or infections
