Non-healing Wound Treatment in Greensboro, North Carolina (NC)

A chronic wound develops when any acute wound fails to heal in the expected time frame for that type of wound, which might be a couple of weeks or up to six weeks in some cases.

If you have wounds that just won't heal, you need wound treatment.

Causes of Chronic Wounds

There are many factors that contribute to the non-healing wounds including:
  • Advanced age of patient
  • Chronic medical conditions affecting circulation and immune functioning such as diabetes mellitus, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease and venous insufficiency
  • Poor nutrition
  • Impaired mobility
  • Stress
  • Poor health

Treatments for non-healing wounds

Chronic wound treatment is aimed at trying to reverse or improve the root cause of the wound itself. Pain management is an important part of the treatment process. Some treatment options for non-healing wounds include:
  • Routinely cleaning the wound and ridding it of dead tissue via debridement and irrigation
  • Vacuum assisted wound dressings, also called Wound Vacs, create negative pressure to the wound, which can be particularly helpful in wounds with large amounts of drainage.
  • Warming the area to increase blood flow
  • Antibiotic regimen
  • Oxygen therapy
  • Specialized dressings that provide healing factors or enzymes that help break down dead tissue
