We Specialize in Complex Wounds

Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Diabetic foot ulcers are open sores or wounds that develop on the feet of people with diabetes. These ulcers often result from poor circulation and nerve damage, which can lead to infections and serious complications if left untreated. Our expert team uses advanced therapies, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and specialized wound care techniques, to promote healing and prevent further complications.

Venous Ulcers

Venous ulcers are open wounds that typically develop on the lower legs, often near the ankles. These ulcers are caused by venous insufficiency, a condition where the veins have difficulty sending blood back to the heart, leading to fluid buildup and tissue breakdown. At HMS Advance Wound Care, we employ a combination of compression therapy, wound debridement, and advanced dressings to effectively manage and heal venous ulcers.

Arterial Ulcers

Arterial ulcers are painful wounds that develop due to poor arterial blood flow, often as a result of peripheral artery disease (PAD). These ulcers are typically located on the feet or toes and can be slow to heal. Our team uses advanced therapies, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and surgical interventions, to improve blood flow and promote healing, reducing the risk of amputation and improving quality of life.

Post-Surgical Wounds

Post-surgical wounds that are slow to heal or reopen can lead to serious complications, including infections and prolonged recovery times. At HMS Advance Wound Care, we specialize in managing and resolving post-surgical wounds using advanced techniques such as wound debridement, negative pressure therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our goal is to ensure your surgical wound heals properly and reduces the risk of complications.

Radiation Injuries

Radiation injuries, also known as radiation dermatitis, are a common side effect of radiation therapy for cancer treatment. These injuries can cause skin breakdown, ulcers, and chronic wounds that are slow to heal. Our expert team uses advanced wound care techniques and specialized dressings to manage radiation injuries, reduce discomfort, and promote healing, helping you regain your quality of life after cancer treatment.

Pressure Injuries

Pressure injuries, also known as bedsores, develop when prolonged pressure on the skin leads to tissue damage and the formation of open wounds. These injuries are common in individuals who are bedridden or have limited mobility. At HMS Advance Wound Care, we use a combination of repositioning techniques, advanced dressings, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to manage and heal pressure injuries, reducing the risk of complications and improving comfort and mobility.

Non-Healing Wounds

Non-healing wounds are chronic wounds that fail to heal within a reasonable time frame, often 4-6 weeks. These wounds can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor circulation, infection, diabetes, or underlying medical conditions. At HMS Advance Wound Care, we specialize in treating non-healing wounds of any kind, using advanced therapies and personalized care plans to promote healing and improve quality of life. Our goal is to help

If your wound hasn’t healed within two weeks, or if you notice symptoms like redness, swelling, pus, skin darkening, or increasing pain, it’s time to seek specialized care. Early treatment can prevent infection, speed up healing, and reduce your risk of complications.
