    Comprehensive Care for Las Vegas and the Surrounding Area

    We specialize in providing individualized care for acute and chronic wounds, as well as dermatological conditions in Nevada. Our team includes skilled physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, all trained to handle a wide array of wound types and skin conditions.

    We are often called to Las Vegas and the surrounding areas to provide mobile wound care treatment. That said, we treat far more than just that. If you or someone you love are in Nevada, we can bring mobile wound care treatment to a location of your choice. 

    Nevada can have, at times, some of the absolute highest temperatures anywhere in the country. Moreover, those who live here in the Silver State know just how cold it can get at some nights. Those are just some of the many, many reasons that those dealing with wounds shouldn’t have to leave their homes for treatment. 

    So, to help, we serve patients across the state, extending our mobile services to individuals in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospice care, and private residences.

    Wounds and Conditions We Treat:

    Some of the Services That We Offer

    We tailor our services to your exact, specific needs. We only provide you with the services you need, none that you don’t. Below are just a few of the ways that we can treat wounds:

    Destruction of Premalignant Tissue

    Premalignant lesions are areas of the skin that exhibit changes in color, texture, or thickness and may have the potential to develop into cancer. These lesions are categorized as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, or melanoma. Under a microscope, these cells display disordered growth and abnormal structure, indicating their potential to turn malignant.

    Treating premalignant lesions involves the precise removal of skin abnormalities using specialized surgical techniques. 

    Prompt treatment is critical to prevent these cells from evolving into cancerous conditions. By removing the affected tissue, patients significantly reduce the risk of skin cancer while addressing their health proactively.

    Biopsy Services

    These can determine whether a mass is cancerous, identify the type of cancer, or rule out its presence entirely. Additionally, biopsies are also instrumental in diagnosing other conditions, such as liver cirrhosis or diseases affecting transplant organs as well as revealing the progression of illnesses. Benefits include distinguishing cancerous cells from benign abnormalities while guiding treatment options based on cellular characteristics.

    This diagnostic process is a cornerstone of personalized care, ensuring that each patient receives the most appropriate treatment.

    Advanced Wound Debridement Techniques

    Effective wound management often requires debridement, a procedure that removes dead or unhealthy tissue from a wound. This process fosters healing and prevents infection by eliminating areas where bacteria can thrive.

    At West Coast Wound Care, we perform debridement as part of a holistic treatment plan. By removing dead tissue, we help wounds heal more effectively while reducing the risk of complications. After assessing your wound and overall health, our specialists will determine whether debridement is necessary and identify the most suitable approach.

    Types of Wound Debridement:

    Our team uses these techniques to address slow-healing wounds, ensuring that each method aligns with the patient’s needs, health status, and wound severity.

    Compression Therapy with Unna Boots

    The Unna Boot is a reliable and widely used compression treatment for improving venous circulation, managing swelling, and promoting the healing of venous ulcers. This bandage comprises zinc oxide-infused gauze, which is wrapped from the toes to the knee and secured with cotton and elastic dressing.

    Unna Boots are particularly beneficial for elderly patients or individuals with physical limitations that make frequent dressing changes difficult. The zinc oxide layer offers antibacterial properties, creating an optimal healing environment while effectively managing moisture. 

    The semi-rigid structure of these not only provides compression but also protects the wound.Their application requires careful attention from wound care professionals to ensure proper tension and maximize their therapeutic effects.

    Manual Lymphatic Drainage

    The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining immune health by filtering waste and bacteria from the body. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized therapy that involves gentle, targeted massage to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, particularly in areas affected by swelling.

    Unlike traditional massage techniques, MLD uses light, rhythmic movements designed to encourage lymphatic flow from swollen areas to healthier regions. This therapy begins with areas of the body unaffected by swelling, creating pathways for fluid to drain effectively. By stimulating lymph nodes and promoting circulation, MLD supports the body’s natural waste elimination processes, reduces swelling, and enhances overall immune function.

    MIST Therapy

    MIST® Therapy, or Molecular Integrated Sound Therapy, represents a cutting-edge approach to wound care. This non-contact, painless treatment uses low-frequency ultrasound delivered through a saline mist to accelerate healing.

    In some wounds, healing may stall when cells become dormant. MIST Therapy’s ultrasound waves gently activate these cells, encouraging them to resume their healing processes. Unlike traditional wound treatments, MIST Therapy penetrates the wound bed, addressing both surface and underlying issues. 

    Benefits of this treatment include reduced bacterial presence, diminished inflammation, increased blood flow, and enhanced collagen production. Studies have shown that MIST Therapy can significantly decrease wound size and pain while improving overall healing outcomes.

    Skin Scraping

    Skin scraping is a diagnostic procedure used to identify fungal or parasitic infections affecting the skin. By collecting a small sample of superficial tissue, healthcare providers can confirm the presence of conditions such as athlete’s foot or scabies.

    This procedure is simple and minimally invasive. A provider sterilizes the affected area, removes hair if necessary, and uses a scalpel or similar instrument to collect the sample. Results from skin scrapings help guide treatment plans, ensuring accurate and effective care.

    Skin Grafts

    Skin grafting involves transplanting healthy skin from one area of the body to cover damaged or missing skin. This procedure is often necessary for individuals with burns, extensive wounds, or after the removal of skin cancer. The grafted skin quickly integrates with surrounding tissue, developing blood vessels within a few days.

    Recovery times vary based on the patient’s health and the size of the graft. While most procedures are successful on the first attempt, some cases may require additional grafting. Skin grafting is an effective way to restore function and appearance to areas of damaged skin.

    Suture Removal

    Sutures, or stitches, play a vital role in wound care by closing and protecting injuries or surgical incisions to promote healing. While some sutures are absorbable, others require professional removal once the wound has sufficiently healed.

    Suture removal is a quick and generally painless process conducted by skilled healthcare professionals. After cleaning the wound, the provider cuts and carefully extracts the stitches. Adhesive strips may be applied afterward to support the healing process. Proper suture removal reduces the risk of complications and ensures optimal recovery.

    Wound Cultures

    Wound cultures are essential diagnostic tools for identifying infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. By analyzing a sample of tissue, fluid, or skin, providers can determine the specific type of infection present and select the most effective treatment.

    This test can identify pathogens that have migrated to areas of the body where they don’t typically belong, such as E. coli in a urinary tract infection. Cultures can be collected from various sites, including open sores, nails, or even the eyes. Accurate identification and sensitivity testing ensure that treatment is both targeted and effective.
