Specialty Care for Chronic, Non-Healing Wounds

A wound that has not healed within four weeks is considered to be a chronic or non-healing wound. Millions of Americans suffering from chronic wounds spend billions of dollars on wound care products each year. However, in many cases, the underlying cause of the wound is what needs to be treated, not the wound itself. Underlying conditions and causes that may lead to non-healing wounds include poor circulation, infection, poor nutrition and repeated trauma to the injured area. For these wounds, a comprehensive treatment approach is essential to achieve an optimal outcome.  

The most common types of non-healing wounds include:

• Bedsores
• Burns
• Chronic venous insufficiency
• Diabetic ulcers
• Insect/spider bites
• Ischemic ulcers
• Neuropathic ulcers
• Non-healing surgical wounds
• Osteomyelitis
• Osteoradionecrosis
• Pressure ulcers
• Radiation injuries
• Traumatic wounds
• Vasculitis
• Venous Ulcers
