How We Treat Diabetic Ulcers at OR Woundcare
Specialized Wound Treatment
​
At OR Woundcare, we specialize in comprehensive treatment methods for diabetic ulcers, focusing on promoting healing, preventing recurrence, and improving the quality of life for our patients. Our approach is backed by advanced medical technologies and personalized care plans.
Our Treatment Methods
​
Skin Substitutes
​
Our clinic uses bioengineered skin substitutes to enhance the healing of diabetic ulcers. These substitutes are crafted from living cells or biological materials and are applied directly to the wound. They support the body’s natural healing mechanisms by providing a framework for new tissue growth and reducing infection risks. Depending on the ulcer's type and severity, the skin substitutes may be synthetic or derived from human or animal tissue.
​
ABI Testing for Good Blood Flow
​
The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test is a critical component of our treatment plan. It measures blood flow to the legs and feet, ensuring adequate circulation for effective wound healing. Identifying poor blood flow early allows us to implement interventions that improve circulation, which is crucial for healing diabetic ulcers.
​
State-of-the-Art Wound Dressings
​
Our advanced wound dressings are tailored to create the optimal environment for healing. We use various types, such as hydrogels, foams, alginates, or hydrocolloids, based on the specific characteristics of the wound. These dressings manage moisture, protect against infection, and promote new tissue growth, accelerating the healing process.
​
Nutrition Counseling and Lifestyle Changes
​
Proper nutrition is vital for wound healing. We provide nutritional counseling to ensure that patients receive essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals. We also advise lifestyle changes, including weight management and smoking cessation, to enhance overall health and support the body's healing capabilities.
