Wound Care and Outpatient Special Services

Memorial Wound Care Center & Hyperbarics

At Memorial Wound Care and Outpatient Special Services we specialize in chronic wound care and limb perseveration. 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 current acute and/or chronic health 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 Oxygen Therapy

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.

Fibroscan Liver Study

FibroScan is an ultrasound guided medical device that was approved by the FDA in 4/15/2013 in the United States that provides a painless and reliable alternative to liver biopsy. This procedure is a quick (15 to 30 minute), non-invasive examination that assesses the stage of liver fibrosis.
FibroScan is typically ordered for patients that have cirrhosis, chronic liver disease, fatty liver, hepatic fibrosis, alcohol related liver disease or one of the many disease or viral infections that causes hepatitis. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact us at 575.532.4399
