That’s how many are estimated to suffer from chronic wounds that just won’t heal. The good news is that you’re close to one of this region’s oldest and most established Wound Healing Centers. Thousands of chronic wounds have been success-fully treated here by some of the finest doctors – wound care specialists – in Pittsburgh. Don’t wait. Time is not on your side. In fact, the longer you wait, the worse things will likely get – especially if you’re one of over 16 million Americans with diabetes or circulation problems.
What’s a “chronic” wound?
Most wounds heal without any specialized treat-ment. But when a wound shows no progress in 4 weeks and fails to completely heal in 8 weeks, you need to see a wound care specialist. These wounds are not only associated with complications from diabetes or other vascular disorders, but can also come from pressure sores or ulcers, radiation injury, trauma injury and gangrene. And when you come here, know that you’ll be treated at one of the best Wound Healing Centers in the country – with a healing success rate greater than 95 percent.
A network of healing resources.
Every treatment plan – your treatment plan – has the advantage of what our wound healing specialists and their colleagues nationwide have learned from having treated over one million patients and 2 million wounds. The clinical, healing guidelines established from this experience helps every patient we treat. Our extensive database shows us what has worked and, most importantly, what hasn’t. And you get the best treatment as a result.
Plus, whatever advanced equipment your treatment demands, expect the Wound Healing Institute to deliver the healing technology.
