Services
Our comprehensive services include:
- Sharp debridement - a minor procedure that uses sterile instruments to remove dead, damaged or infected tissue to help jumpstart healing by preventing bacteria from spreading.
- Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) - also known as vacuum-assisted closure, this treatment uses gentle suction to help wounds close faster by reducing swelling, removing extra fluid and pulling the edges of the wound together.
- Skin tissue substitutes - tissue substitutes are designed to mimic the structure and function of normal human skin, acting as a scaffold for tissue repair to heal acute and chronic wounds.
- Compression therapy - by applying gentle, steady pressure to help push blood back toward the heart, this therapy helps decrease swelling and bring fresh oxygen to the wound to support healing.
