What to Look for in a Wound Care Center

Posted by Bobby Stephenson | Mar 12, 2020 11:47:00 AM

If you have an open wound, bedsore, burn, or ulcer after surgery or a medical complication, your doctor may provide a referral for a wound care center. A wound care center provides targeted services to help your wound heal and reduce the pain associated with it. The complex nature of wound care requires specialized medical attention, especially when associated with chronic health conditions like:

  • Diabetes
  • Vascular disease
  • Obesity
  • Incontinence
  • Lymphedema
  • Surgical breakdown
  • Traumatic injury
  • Renal failure
  • Congestive heart failure
