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
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.
