| Advanced Solutions for Problem Wounds |
 Camden Clark’s Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine provides proven wound-healing therapies, faster healing rates and better patient outcomes. Our center utilizes sophisticated wound care protocols and advanced clinical approaches, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
The longer a wound takes to heal, the greater the risk of serious infection. People with diabetes are especially prone to this risk. A multidisciplinary team of specialists uses the latest, state-of-the-art healing techniques with respect, kindness and gentle care. Our staff helps patients understand the healing process and teaches ways to protect themselves from acute and chronic wounds.
This center takes a well-organized approach to determining the cause of a wound, identifying why the wound is not healing properly and providing treatment and education that will speed up the healing process. Our staff instructs both patient and caregiver on how to care for the wound at home and how to make lifestyle adjustments to help the wound heal faster. This instruction includes:
- Changing bandages
- Protecting wounds from injury
- Recognizing symptoms that require immediate follow-up by the physician
Wounds can often be related to other medical conditions such as diabetes and vascular problems. It is important that patients continue to see their regular physician while their wound is being cared for at the center.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a thoroughly tested, completely safe and painless medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing ability and strengthens the body’s immune system. By dramatically increasing the oxygen content level in blood and compromised tissue, hyperbaric oxygen provides the ideal environment to promote improved wound healing through its direct bacteriostatic effect and the growth of new blood vessels and skin.
Used as a primary and adjunctive therapy for many nonhealing wounds, this noninvasive therapy acts as a catalyst to reduce healing time, improve healing rates and prevent possible limb loss. Patients who have suffered from chronic wounds for months, and even years, are routinely restored to health in a shorter time than they ever thought possible.
