Centers Treat Patients with Slow-Healing Wounds
Approximately five million Americans suffer from wounds that won't heal due to contributing factors ranging from age, diet, smoking and circulatory problems to diabetes, arthritis and kidney disease.
The Wound Healing Centers at the St. Rose Dominican Hospitals - Rose de Lima and San Martín Campuses offer hospital based outpatient wound care, hypberbaric oxygen therapy and specialized treatment of chronic wounds and nonresponsive conditions such as diabetic leg ulcers, pressure ulcers or bed sores, bone infections, post-operative sounds and burns.
St. Rose's Wound Healing Centers offer hospital-based outpatient wound care, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and specialized treatment of chronic wounds and non-responsive conditions, including:
- Diabetic leg ulcers
- Lower leg ulcers
- Pressure ulcers or bed sores
- Bone infection
- Gangrene skin tears or lacerations
- Radiation burns
- Post-operation wounds and infections
- Failed or compromised skin grafts
In some cases, delivery of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (involving a patient breathing 100 percent oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber) is beneficial. It stimulates a number of physiological responses in the cells and tissues, promoting healing in even some of the most severe wounds.
The Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Center at the Rose de Lima Campus
is the first – and only – in Nevada to receive UHMS (Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society)
certification. The Center earned certification in late February 2009.
