    Wound Types & Healing Therapies

    You may need experienced wound care if you have severe or chronic wounds and surgical incisions. Learn about the types of chronic wounds and treatment options available.

    CHRONIC WOUND TYPES

    There are many types of chronic wounds, which are wounds that don’t heal through normal treatment methods. The most common types of problem wounds include:

    • Arterial ulcers
    • Chronic wounds
    • Diabetic foot ulcers
    • Nonhealing surgical wounds
    • Pressure ulcers
    • Traumatic wounds
    • Vasculitic ulcers (leg)
    • Venous stasis ulcers (ulcers and skin damage due to malfunctioning veins)

    A referral by your provider is needed to start your care.

    WOUND THERAPIES

    If you suffer from a chronic, or nonhealing, wound, ask your provider about a referral to Wound Care in Eau Claire. We will work with you and your provider to determine the best form of treatment, including:

    • Antibacterial treatment
    • Bio-engineered dressings
    • Compression therapy
    • Offloading
    • Vacuum-assisted wound closure
    • Wound debridement
    • Hyperbaric oxygen treatment

    An important part of any wound care plan is education. Not only will you receive individualized care at appointment visits, you also will be given instructions and information to help healing while at home.
