Chronic, non-healing wounds, those that haven’t shown signs of improvement in several weeks or are not responding to typical treatments, need extra help to heal. Difficult wounds of this type are often caused by injury, disease or poor blood supply. Red Bud Regional Hospital provides specialized treatment for these types of wounds.

During your first visit, our wound healing team will evaluate your wound and review your medical history and general health. Depending on the origin of your wound, you may need to have special tests to provide important information about the flow of blood, tissue oxygenation and whether there's an infection complicating the healing process. Our services:
- Comprehensive Wound Assessment
- Compression Therapy
- Excisional and Selective Debridement
- Negative Pressure Therapy
- Wound Photography and Electronic Documentation
- Wound Care Consultation by Specially Trained Clinicians and Staff
