Chronic wounds: a persistent situation

Nearly 6 million patients in America are affected by chronic wounds, costing the US health care system an estimated $20 billion annually. Every year more than 1 million people with diabetes will develop foot ulcers; 20-30% of those cases will eventually require amputation. Chief causes of a breakdown in the wound-healing process include infection, tissue ischemia/hypoxia, inadequate local wound responsiveness and unrelieved pressure.

Fortunately, our Advanced Wound Center offers treatment options that can help heal chronic wounds, giving referring physicians, nurses and other health care professionals a proven resource in affecting positive outcomes for their patients.
