By working closely with hospice and home health agencies, as well as skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, we strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Wound Cultures: Identifying and Treating Infections
Wound cultures are an essential tool for diagnosing infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. By analyzing a sample of skin, tissue, or fluid, we can pinpoint the specific germ responsible and determine the most effective treatment.
This diagnostic method is used when infections are suspected or wounds fail to heal as expected. Cultures can also identify bacteria that normally reside in one area of the body but have migrated elsewhere, causing issues.
Samples are collected from the wound and placed in a substance that promotes germ growth. If harmful germs are present, additional testing is conducted to identify them and determine the appropriate medication for treatment.
Our team is dedicated to performing this test with precision to ensure accurate results and effective care.
Advanced Diagnostic Services: Biopsies
This procedure involves collecting a sample of tissue or cells for laboratory analysis so as to diagnose and manage medical conditions. Through a biopsy, physicians can determine whether a condition is benign or malignant, assess disease progression, or identify the most appropriate treatment plan.
Our team offers biopsy services to diagnose conditions such as cirrhosis, detect potential kidney diseases in transplant candidates, and identify cancerous or precancerous cells. With the precision of modern diagnostic tools, biopsies provide critical insights that guide effective care.
Wound Debridement: Effective Wound Treatment
At West Coast Wound Care, we use a range of debridement techniques tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
- Surgical Debridement – Careful removal of non-viable tissue while preserving healthy tissue.
- Autolytic Debridement – Application of specialized dressings that support the body's natural healing processes.
- Enzymatic Debridement – Use of synthetic enzymes to break down dead tissue.
- Mechanical Debridement – Techniques such as hydrotherapy or wet-to-dry dressings to clean wounds.
- Biological Debridement – Application of sterile larvae to consume dead tissue, promoting healing.
Each method is selected based on the wound’s severity, the patient’s health, and potential risks. A thorough assessment ensures the most effective approach for optimal healing.
Removing Premalignant Lesions
Skin abnormalities, including pre-malignant lesions, can pose significant health risks if left untreated. These lesions may progress into skin cancers such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma. At West Coast Wound Care, we prioritize the early detection and treatment of pre-malignant lesions through surgical procedures designed to remove abnormal cells and minimize the risk of cancer development.
Effective Compression Therapy
For patients with venous ulcers or swelling in the lower extremities, we offer compression therapy with the application of Unna boots. These specialized bandages, infused with zinc oxide, provide therapeutic compression that improves venous circulation, reduces swelling, and supports wound healing.
Unna boots also offer antibacterial benefits, protect the wound site, and maintain a balanced moisture environment conducive to healing. Applied correctly by our skilled professionals, Unna boots provide sustained care for up to two weeks, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system by filtering waste and bacteria. When this system becomes compromised, lymphatic fluid can accumulate, causing swelling and discomfort.
Our certified therapists provide manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), a gentle massage technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluid to functioning lymph nodes. This process alleviates swelling and supports the immune system, helping patients regain comfort and mobility.
MIST® Therapy: Advanced Ultrasound Healing
MIST® Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-contact treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasound waves delivered through a saline mist to accelerate wound healing. This painless approach is ideal for wounds that have stalled in their recovery process, helping to re-energize cells and promote natural healing.
Sometimes, cells in a wound become inactive, causing the healing process to pause. MIST therapy uses gentle ultrasound waves that interact with the cells in a way similar to a hand pressing a water balloon, stimulating them to resume their function. Unlike traditional wound treatments, which often only address the surface, MIST therapy penetrates below the wound bed to stimulate deeper healing mechanisms.
Research has shown that MIST therapy reduces wound slough, exudate, and odor while improving the overall condition of the wound. It has also been linked to faster wound closure, with studies demonstrating a reduction in wound size by up to 85% within seven weeks. Additionally, the painless application makes it an excellent choice for patients seeking comfort alongside results. This therapy can help in many ways:
- Pain Relief – Many patients report decreased wound pain over time, making this a preferred option for chronic or painful wounds.
- Bacteria Reduction – The sound waves help minimize bacteria in the wound, lowering the risk of infection.
- Inflammation Reduction – This therapy can reduce inflammation, which is essential for healing.
- Improved Blood Flow – By increasing circulation, MIST therapy supports cell repair and regeneration.
- Enhanced Collagen Production – Boosting collagen deposits strengthens the wound area and promotes closure.
Skin Grafting: Damaged Skin Rebuilt
For wounds that cannot heal independently, skin grafting may be the most effective solution. This procedure involves transplanting healthy skin from one area of the body to cover damaged or missing skin in another. Within days, the transplanted skin begins integrating with surrounding tissue, forming a protective and restorative layer.
Recovery times vary depending on the individual’s health, the size of the graft, and the surgical technique. Most procedures are successful on the first attempt, although in rare cases, a second graft may be required. Our experienced professionals ensure the best possible care to maximize healing and minimize complications.
Skin Scraping: Diagnostic Insights for Better Care
Skin scraping is a straightforward and minimally invasive technique used to diagnose fungal or parasitic skin infections. This test helps our specialists identify the root cause of skin issues, enabling accurate and effective treatment.
The process involves gently removing superficial layers of skin from the affected area. For infections under nails, the nails may be trimmed back first. The sample is then examined to identify signs of infection.
Safe and Simple Suture Removal
When wounds are closed with non-absorbable stitches, professional removal is essential to avoid complications. Our team specializes in the careful and painless removal of sutures to ensure your wound continues to heal properly.
Sutures play a vital role in wound healing by holding the skin together, minimizing infection risks, and reducing scarring. However, leaving stitches in too long can delay healing and lead to complications.
What to Expect During Suture Removal
Our skilled professionals clean and disinfect the wound before gently cutting and removing the stitches. Patients may feel a slight tugging sensation, but the process is typically pain-free. After removal, adhesive strips may be applied to further support healing.
