Wound Care: Advanced Management for Complex, Chronic, and Non-Healing Wounds
Chronic wounds are a growing medical concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. Non-healing wounds can lead to serious complications, including infections, prolonged pain, amputation, or even life-threatening conditions. At our multi-location, multi-disciplinary medical practice in the New York City metro area, we have assembled a world-class, specialized wound-care team dedicated to treating and resolving complex, chronic, and difficult-to-heal wounds.
Patients travel from throughout New York state, across the United States, and from around the globe to benefit from our integrated, evidence-based wound-care approach, state-of-the-art technology, and highly experienced clinical team.
Types of Complex Wounds We Treat
Our wound-care specialists successfully manage a wide range of challenging wounds, including:
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Slow-healing wounds that arise from diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor blood flow (vascular disease).
- Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores): Commonly affecting immobile patients, requiring diligent care and innovative therapies.
- Venous Stasis Ulcers: Resulting from impaired venous circulation, often located on the legs or ankles.
- Arterial Wounds & Peripheral Artery Disease: Caused by inadequate arterial blood flow, requiring multidisciplinary vascular intervention.
- Surgical Wounds & Post-Operative Complications: Including infections, compromised grafts, or dehisced (opened) surgical wounds.
- Radiation-Related Wounds: Persistent wounds caused by radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
- Burns & Traumatic Injuries: Complex wounds requiring specialized management, reconstruction, and rehabilitation.
Comprehensive, Multidisciplinary Wound-Care Approach
Our wound-care team includes wound-care-certified physicians, vascular specialists, infectious disease experts, podiatrists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, endocrinologists, nurse specialists, nutritionists, and physical therapists. Together, they create a comprehensive care plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs, medical history, and wound characteristics.
Advanced Wound Treatment Techniques & Therapies
- Debridement & Advanced Dressings: Removing damaged tissue to promote healing, combined with modern dressings to maintain optimal moisture levels and protect the wound.
- Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT/Wound VAC): Applying controlled suction to stimulate healing, reduce swelling, and speed wound closure.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Accelerating healing by saturating tissues with therapeutic oxygen levels.
- Biologic & Regenerative Therapies: Utilizing skin substitutes, growth factors, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and stem cell therapies to stimulate natural healing.
- Vascular Interventions: Addressing underlying circulation issues through minimally invasive procedures to restore blood flow.
- Nutrition & Metabolic Management: Optimizing nutritional support, hydration, and metabolic control to support wound healing.
- Infection Management: Specialized antibiotic regimens, cultures, and infectious disease interventions to control infections promptly and effectively.
- Reconstructive & Plastic Surgery: Complex wound closure using grafts, flaps, or specialized surgical interventions when necessary.
