If you have a wound that has not significantly improved during conventional treatment, you are not alone. Millions of Americans experience chronic or non-healing wounds.
You can improve your healing at WhidbeyHealth Medical Center, which provides expert wound care. We also treat other wounds that need special attention, such as follow-up care for trauma and burns.
Patients have access to some of the latest and most advanced wound care products and techniques:
- The use of fluorescent imaging technology to identify the bacterial burden that may be present in chronic wounds.
- Reduction of the bioburden or biofilm that frequently contributes to delayed wound healing. This includes specialized dressings and advanced skin substitutes that reduce the biofilm and promote faster wound healing.
Physician referral to this program is required. Health insurance companies and Medicare usually cover the costs of the treatments and most wound care supplies.
