Chronic & non-healing wounds
A wound that’s been open for weeks or months.
When a wound hasn’t meaningfully improved in about a month, something is holding it back. Finding and fixing that ‘something’ is the whole job — and it’s what our clinicians do.
Any wound that lingers past four to six weeks counts as chronic. Usually there’s an underlying reason — circulation, pressure, infection, swelling, blood sugar, or nutrition — that keeps resetting the healing process. The right move isn’t just a different dressing; it’s figuring out what’s stalling things and treating that.
We take a fresh, thorough look: what kind of wound it is, what’s feeding it, and what’s been tried. Then we build a real plan and follow it through, in the home, in a facility, or in clinic.
This may be you if
- A wound has been open longer than a month
- It’s healed and reopened more than once
- It’s gotten bigger, deeper, or started draining more
- Several dressings or products have been tried without progress
- You’re not sure who’s actually overseeing the wound
