Wound Care
Many wounds heal on their own; those that don't are considered chronic wounds. These are often the result of health problems such as diabetes, immobilization or circulatory problems, however they can also occur as pressure sores or from traumatic incidents. Chronic wounds typically don't heal within 2 or 3 months and require specialized care from wound care specialists. The skilled team at Tennova Wound Care Center – Clinton creates a specific plan to treat these wounds and to prevent recurrence by correcting contributing factors such as controlling infection and enhancing medical, circulatory and nutritional status.
Types of conditions treated include:
- Diabetic wounds
- Bone infections
- Pressure ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- Thermal/chemical burns
- Ulcers, including ischemic, pressure and venous stasis
- Wounds associated with radiation therapy
- Other conditions such as bites, infections and more
The team of wound management specialists will assess, evaluate and provide the most appropriate care as well as education about the cause of the wound and future prevention.
We offer treatment technologies in debridement, infection control, surgical intervention, wound closure devices and hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment - an innovation that uses pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to expedite the healing process.
