Stamford Hospital's Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center offers specialized treatment to patients suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections or other wounds caused by injury, disease, a surgical incision, poor blood supply to a body area, poor nutrition or other factors, which have not healed within a reasonable amount of time. Patients receive an evaluation and diagnostic assessment of their wound, and advanced treatments options including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, bio-engineered skin grafts/substitutes, biological and biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies.
The outpatient wound treatment provided by the center has helped 90 percent of patients heal completely in less than two months, and has saved limbs that might otherwise have required future amputation, according to a press release.
