Our wound care center
If you're dealing with a wound that won't heal, our dedicated, patient-centered team will work with you and your physician to evaluate your condition and create a customized plan of treatment.
Wound treatments
While most wounds heal quickly on their own, some types of wounds require additional treatment. Our Wound Care Center defines a chronic, non-healing wound as one that does not heal or, at least, improve significantly within four weeks.
Depending on the severity of your wounds, treatment will most often involve weekly visits for two to two-and-a-half months. During each visit, you work with the same team members, building a relationship that mayt greatly enhance your healing process and encourages program completion.
Treatment approaches may include:
- Compression therapy
- Infection control
- Protective devices
- Skin grafting
- Vascular surgery
We also partner with Healogics, a leader in evidence-based clinical wound healing care. With an exceptional success rate if you complete the program, we have provided life-changing care for over 5,000 people.
While you typically are referred by your primary care physician, you can also contact us directly for services by calling (603) 433-6994.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
We offer HBOT, one of the most advanced treatment options available for healing wounds. This treatment involves breathing pure oxygen in a sealed, pressurized environment to help push oxygen into the blood plasma. HBOT stimulates the growth of blood vessels in damaged tissue and is effective in fighting some types of infection.
This therapy uses your body's natural healing processes to help treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Certain types of infections of the bone or skin
- Serious wounds caused by diabetes
- Skin grafts with inadequate blood supply
- Slow or nonhealing wounds
- Tissue damaged from radiation therapy
Hyperbaric medicine is also supported by our pharmacy, nutrition services, rehabilitation therapy, home healthcare and social services.
