Dealing with wounds, especially chronic ones, can be physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing. At the risk of severe understatement, managing wounds can take a significant toll on patients and their families. We believe you and yours deserve better.
So, we provide convenient, at-home wound care solutions that make the healing process as smooth and effective as possible.
Specialized Wound Care
Our comprehensive wound management caters to a wide range of wounds, ranging from acute injuries to chronic conditions. The West Coast Wound Care team is made up of specialized physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.
We work closely with hospice, home health agencies, skilled nursing, and assisted living facilities to ensure the best care for all our patients.
Our services include, but are not limited to:
- Traumatic Wounds – Whether the result of an accident, injury, or other external causes, traumatic wounds require prompt attention to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.
- Chronic/Non-Healing Wounds – These are wounds that have not healed over time due to factors like poor circulation or underlying conditions.
- Osteomyelitis – An infection of the bone, osteomyelitis requires a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Vascular/Ischaemic Ulcers – Poor blood circulation often leads to vascular ulcers.
- Diabetic Ulcers – Diabetic patients are at risk for ulcers, especially in the feet and lower legs. Proper wound management can prevent these ulcers from worsening.
- Pressure Ulcers – Commonly known as bedsores, these wounds are often a concern for individuals with limited mobility.
- Venous Stasis Ulcers – These wounds occur due to poor venous circulation and can be particularly challenging. They require careful management to prevent recurrence.
- Arterial Ulcers – Caused by insufficient blood flow to the extremities, arterial ulcers often require a more specialized approach.
- Post-Surgical Wounds – After surgery, wounds require careful attention to prevent infection and ensure they heal properly.
Additionally, we also provide dermatological care, treating various skin conditions such as rashes, eczema, and other skin-related issues that may complicate the healing process of wounds.
Treatments Illinois Can Expect
At West Coast Wound Care, we offer a variety of advanced treatments designed to promote healing and prevent further complications.
Skin Grafts
Skin grafting is a medical procedure that involves taking healthy skin from one part of the body and transplanting it to cover damaged or missing skin. This procedure is commonly used to treat severe burns, injuries, surgical wounds, or conditions that result in significant skin loss, such as infections or disease.
Over time, the graft begins to develop its own blood vessels and connect to the surrounding tissue, allowing it to heal seamlessly with the rest of the skin.
Skin grafts are an effective solution for patients with large wounds or areas of skin that cannot heal naturally, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Skin Scraping
When there is suspicion of a fungal or parasitic infection, a skin scraping can help to confirm the presence of the pathogen. This test involves scraping the surface of the affected skin to obtain a sample for analysis.
The procedure itself is relatively simple and quick. This simple yet effective diagnostic tool allows healthcare providers to accurately identify infections and tailor treatments accordingly.
Suture Removal
After a wound has been stitched closed, sutures play an important role in keeping the skin together during the healing process. However, once the wound has sufficiently healed, it is necessary to remove the sutures to prevent complications such as infection or scarring.
Our medical professionals will carefully clean the wound and then remove each suture using sterilized instruments. Proper suture removal is important to prevent infection and ensure that the wound heals without any complications. Our team ensures that this process is done with care and precision to support your continued recovery.
Wound Cultures
Wound cultures are vital for diagnosing and treating infections that can develop in open wounds. A wound culture involves taking a sample from the wound site to test for the presence of harmful bacteria, fungi, or viruses. This test helps healthcare providers determine the most effective treatment plan by identifying the specific pathogen causing the infection.
This test is particularly useful for patients with chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, or post-surgical wounds that are at risk of infection. Our team can perform this test quickly and accurately, ensuring that your treatment plan is based on the most reliable information available.
Biopsy
Used to investigate suspicious growths or lesions that could indicate malignancy, this process involves collecting tissue samples from the affected area and sending them for analysis. A biopsy can help identify whether a lesion is benign or cancerous, the type of cancer, and its stage.
Wound Debridement
This procedure involves removing dead or infected tissue from the wound to promote the growth of healthy tissue and prevent infection. There are various types of debridement, and the method chosen depends on the type of wound and its severity.
Each of these methods has its own benefits, and our specialists will assess your situation and determine the most effective approach for your wound.
- Surgical Debridement – Involves the careful removal of dead tissue using a scalpel or other surgical instruments.
- Autolytic Debridement – Uses the body's natural processes to break down dead tissue, often aided by special dressings.
- Biological Debridement
- Enzymatic Debridement – Involves applying enzymes to the wound to dissolve dead tissue.
- Mechanical Debridement – Uses physical methods like hydrotherapy to clean and remove tissue from the wound.
Destruction of Benign or Premalignant Tissue
Sometimes, skin lesions that appear harmless can develop into something more serious, such as cancer. Premalignant lesions, which have the potential to turn into cancer, must be addressed promptly. We offer treatments for the removal of these lesions to prevent their progression.
Compression Therapy and Unna Boot
Compression therapy plays an important role in the healing of wounds, particularly venous ulcers. The Unna boot is a type of compression dressing that helps manage swelling and improve blood flow to the affected area. It is often used for patients with chronic venous insufficiency or ulcers, providing both therapeutic compression and protection to the wound site.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
When your lymphatic system is not functioning properly, it can result in swelling and fluid buildup, a condition that is often seen in patients recovering from surgery, injury, or dealing with certain medical conditions.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized form of massage that helps promote the movement of lymph fluid through the body. It uses gentle, skin-stretching techniques to encourage fluid to move away from the affected areas and into regions where the lymphatic vessels are still functioning. This process helps to reduce swelling and improve circulation, speeding up the healing process.
MIST® – Molecular Integrated Sound Therapy
MIST® Therapy is an advanced and innovative treatment designed to accelerate wound healing by utilizing low-frequency ultrasound waves delivered through a saline mist. This painless, non-contact therapy is particularly effective for treating chronic wounds and improving the body’s natural healing process.
MIST therapy works by emitting ultrasound waves that gently stimulate the cells within the wound bed. These sound waves provide several benefits, including promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the release of growth factors that are critical for tissue repair.
This therapy is ideal for those suffering from chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and other hard-to-heal conditions.
