Wound types

Wounds our partner clinicians treat.

Care considers the wound and the conditions behind it, such as circulation, diabetes, swelling, pressure and nutrition, and stays connected to the patient’s existing physicians.

Common wounds we see.

Pressure injuries and bed sores

Pressure injuries can develop when skin stays under pressure, especially when movement is limited. Care considers the wound alongside mobility, comfort and the support available at home or in a facility.

Diabetic foot ulcers

Diabetes can affect feeling and blood flow in the feet, making a wound harder to notice and slower to heal. Assessment considers the ulcer, the surrounding foot and the care already in place.

Venous leg ulcers

Venous leg ulcers are linked to problems returning blood through the leg veins. A review looks beyond the open area to swelling, surrounding skin and past episodes of reopening.

Wound VAC and negative pressure therapy

Negative pressure wound therapy needs coordinated wound and device follow-up when it is part of an established treatment order.

Arterial and mixed wounds

Reduced blood flow can limit healing. Some wounds involve more than one circulation problem, so assessment and communication with the existing medical team matter.

Wounds after surgery

Follow-up after surgery reflects the procedure and the surgeon’s instructions, and stays connected to the surgical team.

Reopened surgical wounds

An incision that separates or reopens is called a dehisced wound. The extent of the opening and the surgical team’s assessment guide the next step.

Follow-up after a surgical infection

An infection concern after surgery needs prompt review by the surgical team. Ongoing follow-up considers the incision and the plan set by the responsible clinicians.

Skin tears and traumatic wounds

A skin tear or injury may need more attention when skin is fragile or healing is not progressing.

Skin graft and donor-site aftercare

Follow-up after a skin graft covers the grafted area and, when applicable, the donor site, guided by the procedural clinician’s instructions.

Wounds with lymphedema

Lymphedema causes swelling from a buildup of lymph fluid. Care considers the open wound and the plan for managing swelling.

Wounds that are not healing

When a wound is not progressing, a fresh assessment can clarify what needs attention, bringing together its history, past treatment and the factors affecting care.
