Advanced Wound Healing Clinic

Olmsted Medical Center's Advanced Wound Healing Clinic with Hyperbaric Services provides specialized treatment for chronic or non-healing wounds, which are defined as sores or wounds that have not significantly improved from conventional treatments. Associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins, and immobility, non-healing wounds lead to lower quality of life and may lead to amputations. When wounds persist, a specialized approach is required for healing. Typically, a wound that does not respond to normal medical care within 30 days is considered a problem or chronic wound. or Talk with your primary healthcare provider or visit our special website for more information.
