• Michael S. Flood, M.D., Medical Director of the Wound Care program

Non-healing wounds can be a source of pain and disability. Wound management was created to assist patients with difficult wound-healing problems. Besides evaluating, cleaning and dressing wounds, the center offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Chronic wound management demands a team approach. Successful treatment requires highly specialized and closely coordinated care. The wound management program designs a complete, individualized treatment plan for each patient involving the patient’s family doctor or referring physician.

Treatment team members may include:

• plastic/re-constructive surgeons
• vascular surgeons
• foot surgeon 
• hyperbaric medical specialists
• nutritionists
• nurses
• various other health professionals

What types of wounds do you treat?

• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Venous stasis ulcers
• Wounds due to circulatory problems
• Pressure sores
• Burns
• Other non-healing wounds

Healing may be impaired by:

• aging
• diseases such as diabetes
• disorders that damage blood vessels
• severe trauma
• certain medications
• infections

Because underlying problems can be difficult to treat, patients with chronic wounds can often have several of these problems at the same time. Successfully treating a chronic wound often requires the efforts of several medical specialists.
