Wound Center FAQ
What are comprehensive wound healing centers?
Using the most advanced techniques, products and services, comprehensive wound healing centers provide a full range of wound treatments. A team of doctors, nurses and other health care workers, specializing in wound care, provide the best care possible in an outpatient treatment setting.
Why is a special center for treating wounds necessary?
Comprehensive wound healing centers fulfill the needs of patients who require specialized and aggressive care for their wounds. In traditional medical settings, many patients may not receive the interdisciplinary attention that these wounds require. For these people, minor lesions can unfortunately lead to chronic, non-healing wounds with serious infection, gangrene and possible amputation.
How many people have chronic, non-healing wounds?
It is estimated that nearly five million Americans suffer from chronic wounds.
What guidelines define a chronic, non-healing wound?
If a wound has not improved significantly in four weeks or if it has not completed the healing process in eight weeks, it is considered a chronic, non-healing wound.
What are the causes of these wounds?
Diabetes, immobilization and circulatory problems, contribute to the majority of chronic, non-healing wounds. Approximately 1.5 million people with non-healing wounds have diabetes. Another 2.5 million have pressure ulcers. This is a common side effect of spinal cord injury, arthritis and other conditions that require a patient to be bedridden (immobilization). Persons suffering from venous insufficiency (circulatory problems) account for another one half million patients. The rest have wounds that result from traumatic injury, non-healing surgical incisions and a variety of other diseases.
How do I seek treatment?
If you are suffering from a non-healing wound, approach your doctor about options you may have. Asante operates two locations for wound care, one in Grants Pass and one in Medford.
