WOUND CARE

If a wound fails to improve within 4 to 6 weeks, it may be considered chronic. Millions of Americans experience these long-lasting wounds, often linked to vascular conditions, diabetes, or lifestyle factors. Beyond discomfort, chronic wounds can interfere with daily life and point to underlying health issues that need attention.

Diabetic wounds quickly become serious if left untreated. Risks include infection, tissue damage, and amputation. We can help!!

• Early Intervention
  
• Treatments That Promote Healing
  
• Prevent Vascular Complications

• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowed arteries reduce blood flow, delaying healing.
  
• Venous Insufficiency: Weak or damaged veins cause blood pooling, swelling, and higher infection risk.
  
• Diabetes: Elevated blood sugar damages vessels and nerves, disrupting the body’s healing process.
  
• Infection or Bacterial Overgrowth: Harmful bacteria can block wound closure and lead to complications.
  
• Poor Circulation: Smoking and other lifestyle factors reduce oxygen supply, slowing tissue repair.

We create individualized care plans tailored to each patient’s wound type and overall health:

• Compression Therapy: Special bandages or stockings to improve blood flow and reduce swelling.
• Wound Debridement: Gentle removal of damaged tissue to promote faster healing.
• Advanced Dressings: Specialized coverings that protect the wound and maintain an ideal healing environment.
• Skin Grafts or Substitutes: Used when necessary to close difficult wounds and restore skin integrity.
  

At PrimeMed, our goal is not only to heal wounds but also to address the underlying vascular and health factors that cause them—helping patients return to a healthier, more active life.
