Managing Wound Care

Wounds (open sores) may be a result of trauma/accidents or accumulate over time due to multiple reasons, oftentimes due to underlying medical conditions that may result in secondary pathologies.

One common secondary complication is poor circulation in the feet, for which cuts or blisters can easily turn into ulcers that become infected and won’t heal.

An ulcer is a sore in the skin that may go all the way to the bone.

This is a common and serious complication of diabetes and can lead to the loss of your foot, your leg, or even your life.

When wounds result from other etiologies, there are specific protocols one should follow to ensure a timely, long-lasting healing outcome.
