The Wound Healing Center at Day Kimball Hospital provides specialized treatment to facilitate the healing of chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, lower extremity venostasis ulcers, poorly healing surgical wounds, and chronically infected wounds. The Center is run by a staff of specially trained and certified wound care nurses under the supervision of a physician with special training in wound care.
Treatments include
- state-of-the-art advanced wound care with special dressing applications
- topical pharmaceutical compounds
- negative pressure wound therapy (a therapeutic technique using a vacuum dressing)
- pulsed lavage (mechanical hydrotherapy to irrigate wounds)
- total contact casting (to treat diabetic foot ulcers)
- and surgical and non-surgical debridement (removal of dead, damaged or infected tissue)
The Wound Healing Center collaborates with Day Kimball Healthcare’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, HomeCare, nutritionist, and other services as necessary.
