                What is a Comprehensive Wound Healing Center?

                The Comprehensive Wound Healing Center at Kirby Medical Center provides care to those suffering from non-healing wounds in a way no other provider can – all in one location. A comprehensive Wound Healing Center is a coordinated outpatient center that utilizes the latest techniques and procedures to provide the best chance of healing.

                Our Multidisciplinary Wound Care Specialists

                Our wound healing center is staffed with a team of clinicians with advanced training in wound care, who will customize the most effective treatment plan to stimulate healing.

                Comprised of clinicians trained in wound care, our team is dedicated to providing the most advanced healing options to patients, allowing them to recover as quickly and completely as possible.

                As wound healing specialists, our clinicians have a proven track record of healing wounds – even those that have not responded to other treatments.

                Wound Care Treatment Plans

                Our approach to wound care is aggressive and comprehensive, coordinating traditional and advanced therapies and techniques that are proven to reduce healing time and improve healing rates.

                Since non-healing wounds rarely result from a single cause, we begin with a thorough evaluation and diagnostic testing to determine the underlying cause of the wound. A treatment plan is then developed to give patients the best chance for healing. Most treatments are covered by Medicare/Medicaid, HMOs and other private insurance. Depending on the type of wound, the treatment plan may include:

                • Infection control
                • Restoration of blood flow
                • Debridement (removal of dead tissue)
                • Offloading
                • Cellular and/or tissue-based products (skin substitutes)
                • Compression therapy
                • Foot reconstruction
                • Skin graft or flap

                What Can Our Wound Care Patients Expect?

                Your course of treatment depends on what type of wound you have. During your first visit, our staff will evaluate your wound and review your medical history. You may also need special tests that give us information about circulation and infection. This will help to determine what course of treatment you will need.

                Once a treatment plan has been prescribed, you will visit the wound healing center weekly for specialized treatments and documentation of your healing progress. Keeping appointments and following directions are critical to attaining a positive healing outcome. Some things you can do to assist with your healing:

                • Care for your wound at home as directed by the wound care team
                • Take medications as directed
                • Return for your follow-up appointments
                • Keep regular appointments with your primary care physician while you are receiving wound care treatment

                Following your treatment is the single most important factor in your healing. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at 217-817-8517 to learn more about our doctors or treatment plans. We’re happy to clarify anything you feel uncertain about regarding the wound care treatment process.
