Wound Center

For most people, wound healing is a natural, uneventful process. For some, however, it becomes a complex medical problem requiring specialized medical treatment. If you suffer with a hard-to-heal wound, we may be able to help.

The Hyperbaric and Wound Center at Davis Hospital represents a comprehensive resource for the treatment of patients with chronic, non-healing, or difficult wounds. We offer structured wound care, individually developed by an experienced team, to give excellent care, teaching, and rehabilitation for our patients. The treatment plan may include advanced wound treatments, negative pressure wound therapy, specialized compression wraps, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, bioengineered human tissue grafting, and antibiotic treatments.

The Center is staffed by experienced physicians, and other healthcare professionals, who are trained in wound management and hyperbaric medicine. Our team works closely with your primary care physician to provide comprehensive care, and we communicate with all members of your treatment team in order to give you optimal healing outcomes.
