Wound Care and Outpatient Special Services

Memorial Wound Care Center

At Memorial Wound Care and Outpatient Special Services, we specialize in chronic wound care and limb preservation. Every year, chronic wounds, caused by diabetes, poor circulation, or other conditions, can prevent complicated wounds from healing. We provide treatment that is based on each individual issue to optimize wound healing potential. We have a multidisciplinary team of dedicated professionals who use the latest technology and specialize in advanced wound care modalities to increase healing times and improve quality of life.

Hyperbaric Chambers
Hyperbaric Chambers are a part of our Memorial Wound Care Center healing tools. These non-invasive clear acrylic chambers provide 100% oxygen to promote the optimum healing opportunity. While breathing pure oxygen, the patient's blood plasma becomes saturated, carrying 20 to 30 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body's tissue. The ultimate result is the body's natural wound healing mechanisms (which are oxygen dependent) can function more efficiently. Continued use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment increases the body's immune and healing response. Our Certified Hyperbaric Technician’s will educate you with the knowledge to complete this treatment with the best results.
