    At West Coast Wound Care, we know that managing wounds, whether caused by injury, chronic conditions, or complications following surgery, can be a challenging experience. Proper wound care is essential for overall health. We don’t believe that you should have to go to a medical facility every time you need wound treatment. Instead, we provide a better alternative: mobile wound care for California. 

    For those living in the Golden State and the surrounding areas, there’s a better way to manage wound care: we bring advanced, holistic care directly to your home, or wherever you are.

    Why Choose West Coast Wound Care?

    Caring for a wound, particularly a chronic one, can take a physical, emotional, and mental toll. From the discomfort of constant irritation to the frustration of limited progress, wound management can be overwhelming. On top of that, frequent visits to medical offices can be exhausting and disruptive to daily life. At West Coast Wound Care, we offer a better alternative. We provide at-home wound care services to make the healing process smoother, easier, and more effective.

    What Areas Does West Coast Wound Care Provide Services to in California?

    We named the company “West Coast Wound Care” for many reasons, not the least of which is that we provide wound care throughout the state of California. The climate in California is unlike just about anywhere else in the world, but, if you need wound care, you shouldn’t have to sit in traffic and/or go long distances just to receive the care you need. 

    We provide care all through the state, large as it is. That said, there are certain areas that our wound care specialists provide more care to than others. For example, the cities we visit the most in this state include Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Fresno. In fact, our specialists often treat those in and around Orange County, too. 

    Our mission is to offer high-quality, effective, and convenient wound care right where you need it. Our expert team strives to make your recovery as easy as possible, so you can focus on your well-being and the things that truly matter to you.

    Comprehensive Care for All Types of Wounds

    We offer comprehensive wound management services, addressing a variety of wound types, from acute injuries to long-term chronic conditions. Our team of specialists includes highly trained physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants with specialized knowledge in wound care. We also work closely with hospices, home health agencies, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living centers to provide the highest level of care for our patients.

    We offer treatment for several different types of wounds, including but not limited to:

    Additionally, we also offer dermatological care, treating various skin conditions such as rashes, eczema, and other skin issues that can interfere with wound healing.

    The Forefront of Wound Care Treatments

    We offer several cutting-edge treatments designed to speed up healing and prevent complications. They include:

    Wound Debridement

    This process involves removing dead or infected tissue from the wound bed, allowing healthy tissue to grow and preventing infection. There are several types of debridement:

    Each technique is chosen based on the specific needs of the wound, ensuring optimal results.

    Compression Therapy with Unna Boot

    For wounds caused by poor venous circulation, compression therapy is a crucial component of healing. One method of compression therapy is the Unna boot, a type of dressing that helps reduce swelling and enhance blood flow to the affected area. 

    The Unna boot is particularly helpful for patients dealing with venous ulcers and provides both therapeutic compression and protection to the wound.

    Compression therapy helps reduce the frequency of dressing changes, improving the patient’s comfort and making it easier for those with mobility issues to manage their wounds.

    Biopsy for Diagnosis

    When a wound is slow to heal or there’s concern about a lesion, a biopsy may be necessary. This procedure involves taking a sample of tissue from the wound or growth for laboratory analysis.

    A biopsy helps us determine whether the lesion is benign or malignant, identify the type of cancer if present, and assess its stage.

    Benign/Premalignant Tissue Treatment

    Sometimes, skin lesions that appear harmless can develop into more serious conditions, such as cancer. We offer procedures for the removal of benign and premalignant tissue to reduce the risk of further complications, helping in preventing the progression of skin cancer.

    Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

    The lymphatic system is vital for immune function and the removal of toxins from the body. When the lymphatic system is not functioning properly, it can lead to fluid buildup and swelling. MLD is a specialized massage technique designed to promote the movement of lymph fluid, reducing swelling and encouraging faster recovery. This treatment is often used for patients recovering from surgery or injury, or for those dealing with other conditions. 

    The therapy uses light, skin-stretching motions to stimulate lymph flow, starting from healthy lymphatic areas and gradually working toward the affected regions. This promotes circulation, reduces swelling, and accelerates healing.

    MIST® Therapy: Low-Frequency Ultrasound for Healing

    An advanced technique that utilizes low-frequency ultrasound waves to treat wounds, this non-invasive therapy delivers ultrasound waves through a saline mist to promote healing by stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging tissue regeneration. 

    Especially effective for chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and pressure ulcers, this treatment accelerates healing by targeting deeper layers of tissue and reducing bacteria.

    Severe Wound Skin Grafts

    For severe wounds where the skin cannot heal on its own, skin grafting may help. This procedure involves taking healthy skin from one part of the body and transplanting it onto the damaged area. Skin grafts are typically used for severe burns, large surgical wounds, or conditions that lead to significant skin loss.

    The grafted skin eventually connects to the surrounding tissue, and over time, begins to heal, providing functional and aesthetic benefits.  When other treatments don’t get the job done, these grafts can restore skin integrity and appearance.

    Skin Scraping for Infection Diagnosis

    Used to diagnose infections caused by fungi, bacteria, or parasites, this scraping collects cells from the affected area, healthcare providers can identify the underlying pathogen causing the infection and determine the most effective treatment.

    Removal of Sutures

    After a wound has been stitched closed, sutures are typically removed once the wound has healed enough to prevent complications. Our medical professionals perform this task with care, ensuring minimal discomfort and promoting continued healing.

    Wound Cultures

    This test helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan, especially in cases of chronic wounds or post-surgical infections. A wound culture can identify bacteria, fungi, or viruses. By identifying the infection early, we can prevent it from spreading and help the wound heal more effectively.
