Wound Care Q & A

What is wound care?

Minor wounds often heal on their own in healthy people with strong immune systems. However, severe or slow-healing wounds sometimes require medical attention to reduce pain and speed recovery. Consult the highly trained team at New York Medical Vascular Care at the first sign of a non-healing wound.

Why isn’t my wound healing quickly?

If you have a wound that’s severe or not healing on its own, it might be because lots of bacteria got inside the wound.

Other factors contributing to slow-healing wounds include autoimmune diseases (such as diabetes), poor nutrition, liver or kidney diseases, lung problems, smoking, and obesity. Taking certain medications, undergoing radiation therapy, or chemotherapy can also contribute to slow-healing wounds.

What are my wound care treatment options?

Advanced wound care treatments available at New York Medical Vascular Care include:



At-Home Treatments

At-home treatment options include keeping your wound clean, using antibiotic ointments, covering wounds with pads, dressings, or bandages—especially wounds on your feet—and wearing comfortable shoes that fit well.



Physical Examination

Total contact casting consists of a plaster or fiberglass shell you wear around your foot and leg. The cast distributes weight along your entire foot to reduce pressure against a foot wound.



Do you experience leg fatigue, cramping, and pain? You might have Peripheral Vascular Disease.



Specialized Dressings

New York Medical Vascular Care providers might recommend specialized dressings to help a wound heal faster. Examples include bio-engineered living tissue, skin substitutes, becaplermin (Regranex), multi-layer compression, and negative pressure wound dressings.



Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

HBOT at New York Medical Vascular Care exposes your body to 100% oxygen at high pressure to naturally speed up healing.



Diet Evaluations

An on-site New York Medical Vascular Care dietitian can evaluate your current diet and offer recommendations, helping you control diabetes, eat healthier, and allow wounds to heal faster.

The providers at New York Medical Vascular Care personalize each wound care treatment based on the type and severity of the wound. They help you heal quickly with minimal to no pain or downtime.
