Overview

At any given time, almost six million Americans suffer from problem wounds — wounds that have not started to heal in four weeks or are not completely healed in eight weeks.

Services

Mount Nittany Health Center for Wound Care specializes in treatments for a variety of wounds. The diabetes foot clinic works in collaboration with our Center for Wound Care.

Our team specializes in the following areas:

  • Diabetic wounds

  • Ischemic wounds

  • Pressure wounds

  • Venous wounds

 

We also have experience with:

  • Acute trauma

  • Burns

  • Drug-/disease-induced wounds

  • Postoperative wounds

  • Radiation injury

Patients undergo a thorough diagnostic exam to identify the type of wound and any underlying problems causing the delay in its healing process.

When identified, a tailored treatment plan is initiated based on the most-effective ways to heal the wound. Treatment options that may be considered include:

  • Debridement

  • Diabetes education 

  • Epidermal harvesting 

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy 

  • Infectious disease management 

  • Laboratory evaluation 

  • Nuclear medicine

  • Pain management 

  • Physical therapy 

  • Radiology

  • Vascular evaluation

 

 

Hyperbaric medicine

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a procedure during which a patient breathes 100 percent pure oxygen while reclining in a pressurized chamber. This delivery of a high concentration of oxygen to the bloodstream and to the wound bed rapidly accelerates the healing process. It also stimulates growth of new blood vessels and improves circulation.
