Pressure Ulcers

Often called bed sores, pressure ulcers form due to prolonged pressure over a bony prominence. Complete Wound Care equips caregivers, home health nurses and patients with the resources they need to heal pressure related injuries. This generally requires a combination of supplemental nutrition, pressure redistribution and topical dressings suited for each wound.

Diabetic foot ulcers form on the foot of the diabetic patient due to microvasculature compromise, neuropathy, prolonged pressure and uncontrolled diabetes. They require multiple interventions including, but no limited to: offloading techniques, blood glucose control, proper nutrition and antimicrobial dressings. 

Venous leg ulcers are the result of poor venous return in the lower extremities. Often coupled with varicose veins, spider veins and a ruddy red appearance below the calves, they can be treated in the home with the proper compression and lifestyle changes aimed at reducing edema and improving blood flow. 

Arterial ulcers are due to lack of blood flow and can quickly escalate to ischemia and amputation. They are usually on the tips of fingers and toes and can be very painful. Our efforts focus on salvaging the limb and minimizing pain associated with the wound.

Some surgical wounds fail to heal in a timely thirty-day manner and require continued care and monitoring. Complete Wound Care picks up where your surgeon left off, employing a myriad of basic and advanced techniques tailored to the patient's unique needs.
