Comprehensive range of services

General Info

Millions of Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds, which are often a sign of medical conditions that need immediate treatment. Diabetes alone accounts for approximately 600,000 foot wounds every year – without proper treatment, these and other chronic wounds can lead to amputation. Many traumatic wounds, such as burns, lacerations and abrasions, also require advanced wound therapies to fight infection and heal properly. If you have a wound that’s not improving, contact us or ask your doctor for the specialized care and state-of-the-art technology available at the Wound Healing Center, a service of Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Since 2003, the LMH Wound Healing Center has provided a comprehensive, clinically proven wound healing program. Our multidisciplinary team of board-certified physicians, nurses and technologists diagnose and treat many chronic and acute wounds, including: • Diabetic foot ulcers • Lower leg ulcers • Pressure ulcers (bed sores) • Bone infection/osteomyelitis • Gangrene • Burns • Radiation burns • Post-operation infections • Slow or non-healing surgical wounds • Brown recluse spider bite wounds • Failed or compromised skin/muscle grafts or flaps • Wounds lasting more than 30 days or failing to improve with multiple treatments and therapies You can be treated at LMH Wound Healing Center with or without a doctor’s referral – either way, we will keep your primary care provider or specialists informed of additional test results, diagnosis, specialized treatment plan and healing progress.

Services/Products

At LMH Wound Healing Center, we are dedicated to helping you find solutions for wounds that resist traditional means of treatment and require advanced therapy. We offer a complete range of wound care patient services – from consultation to testing and treatment – and we are equipped with the latest in wound care diagnostic and treatment technology.Consultation:To provide a diagnosis and develop a specialized treatment plan, we evaluate your wound and look for other possible underlying medical factors. This may require additional tests, such as X-ray, MRI, CT scans, bone scans and biopsies, wound cultures, lab work or a doppler evaluation (ultrasound) of your pulse to determine if you have adequate blood flow to transport nutrients and medications to your wound. We will keep your primary provider or specialist informed, and we recommend that you continue regular visits with your doctor throughout the course of your treatment at the Wound Healing Center.Wound Care Dressings and Debridement:Your wound type determines which dressings will create the correct environment for healing, and which type of treatment is best for you. Wound debridements are often necessary to remove dead tissue from the wound’s surface and stimulate the growth of healthy tissues for proper wound healing. There are several methods of debridement, and your LMH Wound Healing Center physician will determine the best method for your wound type.Additionally, for diabetic foot and ankle wounds, offloading is an essential part of the treatment regimen. Offloading reduces pressure to the wound with special shoes or inserts, braces, casts, special mattresses and/or other modalities.Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) is an advanced treatment that increases the oxygen level in body tissues to kill germs and promote healing. Inside a clear, closed chamber, HBO applies 100% oxygen to provide wound tissues with up to three times more oxygen, which stimulates new blood vessel formation, enhances the effectiveness of antibiotics, and preserves injured tissue or compromised skin flaps.Transcutaneous Oxygen Monitoring:Transcutaneous Oxygen Monitoring (TcPO2) is a non-invasive test that measures how much oxygen is available to the wound. Using leads placed on the affected area, we can measure microcirculation to determine wound healing potential and whether or not ischemia is a concern. In addition to TcPO2 testing, we may order arterial duplex studies to evaluate you for large vessel disease. Depending on your results, we will provide a referral to a vascular specialist if appropriate.
