The Challenge for Physicians

The modern healthcare environment poses many challenges for the physician who is attempting to heal a chronic wound. The etiology of wounds are as varied as the patients that present them.

Below is a sample of the wounds commonly seen in the Wound Healing Center.

• Acute traumatic ischemia
• Compromised skin grafts
• Necrotizing tissue infections
• Neuropathic Ulcers
• Severe Pressure Ulcers
• Soft tissue Radiation injury
• Refractory Osteomyelitis
• Ischemic Ulcers
• Venous Ulcers
• Diabetic Ulcers
• Collagen Vascular Ulcers

These ulcers typically result in delayed healing which can lead to increased frustration to the patient as well as the physician.
