Wound Management
Advanced Home Care’s wound management program ensures the best outcomes for patients with surgical incisions, infections or wounds that are slow to heal, including pressure ulcers.
We have three board-certified wound ostomy continence nurses who educate patients about proper wound maintenance, including signs and symptoms of infection, and identify the best treatment options, such as the following:
- Compression therapy for lower extremity wounds
- Debridement (removal of dead tissue)
- Negative pressure wound therapy
- Non-invasive vascular assessments
- Topical wound dressings
In addition, we use digital photography to document wounds and assess the treatment process.
Our wound ostomy and continence nurses also identify other conditions that can cause or contribute to slow-healing wounds:
- Arthritis
- Blood flow problems
- Diabetes
- Infection
- Kidney disease
- Non-compliance with prescribed treatments
- Poor nutrition and diet
- Smoking
- Swelling
- Weight
Our staff is also specially trained to match ostomy patients with the pouching system that best fits their lifestyle, saving them both time and money.
