Skin Grafting or Flaps for Complex Wounds

Although we do not do skin grafts or flaps in our office, many patients are referred to hyperbaric oxygen therapy if the reconstructive surgery is at risk. If the wound bed is not adequately oxygenated, skin grafts/flaps may fail to take, resulting in partial or complete graft loss. Factors such as diabetes, smoking, or prior radiation treatment can reduce blood flow to the wound site and hinder graft survival. That’s where hyperbaric oxygen therapy for successful graft/flap-integration comes in. By increasing oxygen levels before and after surgery, HBOT promotes better blood flow to the affected area, raising the probability of long-term graft/flap survival.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (Wound-Vac)

Negative pressure wound therapy, also known as wound-vac, is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled negative pressure (suction) to help accelerate wound healing. This method is particularly effective for chronic or hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and surgical wounds.

The wound-vac system helps to remove excess fluid, reduce edema, and promote the formation of new blood vessels, all of which accelerate healing. It also helps to maintain a moist environment, which is essential for tissue regeneration and wound closure.

For patients struggling with wounds that are not healing despite other treatments, wound vac therapy can be a game-changer. It is an effective option for wounds that require additional stimulation to heal or wounds that have poor blood circulation. Our wound care specialists in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia are highly experienced in using wound-vac therapy to help patients recover from chronic wounds.

Surgical Debridement for Wound Healing

Surgical debridement is a critical step in wound care that involves the removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound to promote healing. This procedure is often required when a wound becomes infected, necrotic, or non-healing despite conservative treatments. Removing dead tissue allows for healthier tissue to regenerate and helps prevent further infection or complications.

Our experienced physicians perform surgical debridement in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia and ensure that the procedure is done safely and effectively. After debridement, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help accelerate healing by enhancing oxygen delivery to the wound, reducing the chance of infection, and promoting tissue regeneration.
