FAQ: Wound Care
What is wound care?
When do I need wound care?
Many types of wounds may need wound care, including:
- Diabetic ulcers: typically develop on the feet due to neuropathy and vascular issues
- Radiation burns: skin damage following radiation therapy for cancer
- Vascular wounds: usually on the lower leg, developing due to poor circulation
- Pressure wounds: wounds developing atop a bony prominence
- Surgical wounds: incision wounds following surgery
If you don’t see improvement in your wound within 30 days of treatment by your primary care, internal medicine, or surgeon, we suggest discussing with your physician about additional options for advanced wound care, such as those available at our clinic.
What can I expect from wound care?
Wound care covers many treatments, ranging from more conservative strategies to highly advanced therapies and surgical interventions. Limb Preservation Center of East Tennessee offers the full spectrum of wound care solutions in one convenient place. Some of the most common treatment options are:
- Topical gels, creams, or solutions applied to your wound
