In addition to individual care, we collaborate closely with hospice and home health agencies, skilled nursing, and assisted living facilities to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
Services That Assess and Treat
In some cases, further testing may be necessary to properly assess and treat a wound or dermatological condition. As part of our wound care, we offer a range of diagnostic services to ensure that each patient receives a precise and tailored treatment plan.
Biopsy
The removal of a tissue sample from a suspicious area, mass, or lymph node for examination, this test is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as cancer or ruling out other health issues. By analyzing the tissue sample, we can determine the invasiveness of the disease, identify cancer cells, or assess the stage of cancer for better treatment planning.
In addition to cancer screenings, biopsies can be used to diagnose other conditions like cirrhosis or kidney disease. The insights gained from a biopsy can guide the best course of treatment, ensuring you receive the most effective care.
Wound Debridement
Wound debridement is a fundamental procedure in wound management, where a healthcare professional removes damaged or dead tissue to promote healing and prevent infection. Dead tissue can create an environment conducive to bacterial growth, leading to further complications. By removing this tissue, we reduce the risk of infection and encourage the growth of healthy tissue.
Our wound care specialists utilize a variety of techniques for debridement, depending on the wound type and the patient’s condition.
- Surgical Debridement – Dead tissue is carefully removed while preserving healthy tissue.
- Autolytic Debridement – Special dressings promote the body’s natural ability to clear out the wound.
- Enzymatic Debridement – Synthetic enzymes help dissolve dead tissue.
- Mechanical Debridement – Physical methods such as hydrotherapy are used to clean the wound.
- Biological Debridement – Larvae are used to consume dead tissue, leaving healthy tissue intact.
Each debridement method is selected based on a thorough assessment of the wound and the patient’s overall health, ensuring that the most appropriate and effective treatment is provided.
Premalignant Tissue Treatment at the Right Time
Some skin lesions may be benign but could develop into cancer if left untreated. Premalignant lesions are abnormal growths that have the potential to become malignant over time. These lesions need to be removed promptly to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma.
Our team utilizes various surgical procedures to remove these lesions and prevent further complications. Early intervention is crucial in managing skin conditions and preventing them from progressing into cancer.
Compression Therapy, Unna Boots, and More
For patients with venous stasis ulcers or chronic conditions like diabetes, compassion therapy can be vital. The Unna Boot is a popular compression bandage used to treat these types of wounds. It consists of a zinc oxide-impregnated gauze wrap that is applied to the affected area, followed by cotton padding and an elastic compression dressing. Key benefits of the Unna Boot include:
- Improved Venous Circulation– The compression applied by the Unna Boot helps promote blood flow to the heart.
- Convenience– The Unna Boot stays in place for up to two weeks, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes.
- Optimal Healing Environment– The zinc oxide in the bandage provides antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of infection.
Regular monitoring and assessment are required to ensure that the Unna Boot is applied correctly and that the patient’s condition is improving.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
The lymphatic system is a vital part of your immune system, helping your body filter out waste and bacteria. When this system is not functioning properly, swelling can occur. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, non-invasive technique designed to promote the movement of lymph fluid to healthy lymph nodes.
This therapy is beneficial for patients experiencing swelling, particularly after surgery, injury, or other medical conditions that affect the lymphatic system.
MIST® Therapy
MIST® Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasound delivered through a saline mist to promote wound healing. This non-contact, painless therapy stimulates the cells within the wound, encouraging them to resume their natural healing processes. It can help to:
- Reduce Infection – The ultrasound waves reduce bacteria at the wound site.
- Reduce Pain – Many patients report a decrease in wound pain over time with MIST Therapy.
- Enhance Healing – The sound waves increase blood flow, release growth factors, and stimulate collagen production.
- Accelerate Wound Closure – Research shows significant reductions in wound size when treated with MIST Therapy.
Skin Graft Procedures
In some cases, when a wound is severe or tissue loss is extensive, a skin graft may be necessary. During this procedure, healthy skin is taken from one part of the body and transplanted to cover the damaged area. Over time, the grafted skin begins to form blood vessels and integrates with the surrounding tissue.
Skin grafts are commonly used to treat severe burns, surgical wounds, or areas affected by diseases such as skin cancer. The success of a skin graft depends on several factors, including the patient’s overall health and the technique used during the procedure.
Suture Removal
If you’ve had stitches to close a wound, it’s important to have them removed at the right time to prevent complications. Non-absorbable sutures need to be removed by a healthcare provider after a certain period, depending on the location and size of the wound.
A quick and generally painless process, our medical professionals ensure that the area is cleaned and disinfected before removing the stitches.
Skin Scraping for Infection
Skin scraping is a diagnostic procedure used to detect fungal infections such as athlete’s foot or ringworm. During this test, a small sample of skin is scraped from the affected area and examined under a microscope to identify any signs of infection.
This simple procedure helps determine the cause of skin abnormalities and guides treatment decisions for fungal infections. If you suspect a skin infection, our professionals can perform a skin scraping to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Wound Cultures
Wound cultures are a critical part of diagnosing infections. A culture test involves taking a sample from the wound and testing it for the presence of bacteria, viruses, or fungi. This test helps identify the specific microorganism causing the infection, allowing for targeted treatment.
At West Coast Wound Care, we provide accurate wound cultures to ensure that infections are properly diagnosed and treated with the appropriate medication.
