Wound care

Wound care involves medical interventions to heal a wound after injury. Specialized treatment is provided for wounds that are nonhealing or refuse to heal on their own. A vital aspect of treatment includes learning how to properly dress and care for a wound.

Wound care specialists in North Texas

If you have a chronic, non-healing or critical wound, there are team members throughout the Medical City Healthcare network who are specialized in treating your needs.

To aid in your healing, you will work with experienced professionals who help patients with conditions that have a high risk of wound complications, including chronic hemodialysis, diabetes and severe peripheral vascular disease.

Chronic wound causes

We expect our bodies to heal quickly and routinely, but, in reality, healing is a very complicated process. Without proper treatment, chronic wounds can become critically infected or gangrenous and may require amputation. These difficult-to-heal wounds can result from various causes:

  • Arterial or venous ulcers
  • Chemical burns
  • Circulatory conditions
  • Collagen vascular disease
  • Poor diabetes management
  • Heart failure
  • Lymphedema
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Pressure sores
  • Surgical site breakdown
  • Spinal injury
  • Traumatic injury

Wound treatments and therapies

At Medical City Healthcare, we provide a wide range of solutions for patients with critical wounds, including:

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
  • Advanced wound dressings
  • Compression therapy
  • Bioengineered skin substitutes
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Plastic surgery
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Protective footwear
  • Negative pressure wound therapy
  • Incision and drainage
  • Ultrasonic mist therapy (low energy, low intensity ultrasound delivered through a saline mist to the wound bed)

Limb preservation

Limb preservation at Medical City Las Colinas aims to:

  • Provide advanced care for non-healing wounds
  • Preserve mobility
  • Prevent the need for amputation
  • Reduce pain, especially for patients with acute and chronic conditions

Medical City Las Colinas offers an advanced limb preservation procedure called the transverse bone transport system that involves moving a segment of a patient’s shin bone across a wound site with an external fixator. The movement stimulates the formation of new blood vessels to help heal an ulcer and potentially prevent amputation. Patients can maintain regular activities such as walking and driving during the healing process.

Good candidates for the treatment:

  • Diagnosed with diabetes
  • Failed to respond to conventional treatments
  • Non-healing or recurrent ulcers
  • Limited blood flow
  • Poor circulation
