Wound Healing Awareness Month: The benefits of a wound treatment center
5/31/2024
BENTONVILLE, AR – June is Wound Healing Awareness Month, a month-long celebration that focuses on the importance of wound care as an essential service and the benefits of treatment in a wound center.
For many people, cuts or sores naturally heal within a short period of time. However, for those with underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity or an impaired immune system, these wounds oftentimes fail to heal properly on their own, leading to extended hospital stays, high healthcare costs or potentially dangerous medical complications.
When the body is unable to heal on its own, specialized wound care is essential to avoid serious long-term complications. A wound center can provide the treatment options and medical experience needed to support the body’s healing process, limit health complications and speed recovery.
The Northwest Medical Center – Bentonville Wound & Hyperbaric Center follows a multidisciplinary approach to wound care that is aggressive and thorough, coordinating traditional and advanced therapies that aid and accelerate the healing process. For patients, that means longer-lasting results, decreased amputation rates and increased mobility.
After evaluating a patient’s unique medical history and symptoms, the center’s team of clinicians develops a personalized advanced wound care treatment plan which may include:
- Diagnostic testing
- Nutritional evaluation
- Infection control
- Specialized dressings
- Pressure-relieving devices
- Debridement
- Ongoing patient education
- Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy
If you have a wound, wound care is essential. Let the team help you heal. For more information about wound care or HBO therapy or to schedule an appointment, call (479) 553-3100. No referral is required.
