General Wound Care at Alexian Wound Health Center  

Our Tests, Treatments & Therapies

We customize your treatment to your specific health needs. Treatments range from simple medications to adjunctive therapies, which include:

• Bio-engineered skin substitutes to support wound closure and serve as replacement for skin and surgical grafting. A bio-engineered skin substitute closely resembles human skin in structure and function.
• Growth factor therapy manufactured through recombinant DNA technology is applied topically to stimulating cell growth and promote healing of wounds.
• Negative pressure therapy uses controlled localized negative pressure to stimulate the growth of healthy granulation tissue, which grows from the base of a wound and is the first tissue to fill in.
• Anti-Infective dressings.
• Learning ways to redistribute weight to reduce pressure on wounds that affect the foot or lower leg.
• Transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement (TCOM) testing. This is a test we conduct to determine whether there is adequate oxygen in the blood for your wound or sore to heal.
