02 / CLINICAL APPROACHES

Types of general services

Clinical options selected according to the wound, the patient’s condition and the treatment plan.

01

Comprehensive Wound Evaluation

A wound evaluation looks at its location, size, condition and surrounding skin, along with factors that can affect healing. The findings help guide dressing selection, treatment planning and the frequency of follow-up. Changes in the wound are reviewed at subsequent visits.

02

Wound Dressings and Bandages

Different wounds require different types of dressings. Our team selects and changes dressings based on the wound’s condition, drainage and treatment goals. Proper bandaging helps protect the affected area, and patients or caregivers receive instructions on care between visits.

03

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)

Negative pressure wound therapy uses a sealed dressing connected to a device that applies controlled suction. For appropriate wounds, this may help manage drainage and support the wound environment. Providers assess suitability, monitor the device and dressing, and review the wound during follow-up.

Offloading and Pressure Relief

Pressure on an injured area can make wound care more difficult, particularly for foot ulcers and pressure-related wounds. Offloading methods, positioning guidance and suitable support devices may be used to reduce stress on the wound. The approach is selected for the patient’s mobility and care needs.

Individualized evaluation and follow-up

Your care team determines which approach is clinically appropriate for your wound.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Foot ulcers associated with diabetes need careful assessment because circulation, sensation and pressure can affect wound management. Our team monitors the wound, provides dressing care and reviews pressure-relief measures where appropriate. Follow-up helps identify changes that need additional attention or coordination with the patient’s other providers.

Pressure Ulcers

Pressure ulcers may develop when an area of skin is exposed to prolonged pressure. Care focuses on evaluating the wound, providing suitable dressings and reducing pressure through positioning or support measures. We monitor the area over time and work with patients and caregivers on practical prevention steps.

Venous Stasis Ulcers

Venous stasis ulcers are commonly associated with impaired return of blood from the legs. Our clinicians assess the wound and surrounding skin, provide dressing care and consider circulation-related factors in planning treatment. Compression or further evaluation may be recommended when appropriate for the individual patient.

Arterial Ulcers

Arterial ulcers may occur when blood supply to an area, often the lower leg or foot, is reduced. Assessment considers the wound and possible circulation concerns. Treatment planning prioritizes appropriate wound protection and coordination of further vascular evaluation or specialist care when indicated.

Wound Dehiscence

Wound dehiscence occurs when part of a surgical incision separates or reopens. This requires prompt clinical assessment to determine its extent and appropriate next steps. Our team can help evaluate the wound, coordinate ongoing wound care and recommend escalation when necessary.
