Diabetic Ulcers

Our patients with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic ulcers. These conditions are often present on the feet and form due to nerve damage or poor circulation. If you don’t seek proper care, you could develop an infection. In severe cases, amputation may be necessary.

Symptoms

Watch for telltale signs of diabetic ulcers so that you can request acute wound care at home early. Diabetic ulcers often appear as open sores or wounds, especially on the bottom of feet. You may experience swelling, redness, and even a foul odor. Unfortunately, due to nerve damage, you may not feel pain. For that reason, it is especially important to conduct visual inspections while you bathe

Treatments

Effective diabetic ulcer management starts with controlling blood sugar levels. Seek assistance from your primary care physician for that element. But Mobile Wounds Healthcare is here to address the actual symptoms. We can debride the wound while also applying specialized wound dressings at your home. We may also use techniques such as negative pressure wound therapy to accelerate healing.

Pressure Ulcers

Pressure ulcers are also commonly known as bedsores. Bedridden patients are most prone to this condition. It develops due to prolonged pressure on the skin. While they may present anywhere on the body, common locations include the heels, hips, and tailbone.

Symptoms

Initial symptoms of pressure ulcers are red, painful areas on one’s skin. These will not blanch when pressed. In the most severe cases, the skin may break open and form an ulcer that extends deep into body tissue. Other symptoms include swelling, tenderness, and changes in skin color.

Treatments

The best approach to treating pressure ulcers is to constantly reposition a patient. We can offload patients to relieve pressure and apply negative pressure wound therapy. Our treatments also include pain management and topical medications. Additionally, for wounds that have formed, we will apply appropriate wound dressings and remove damaged tissue through debridement.

Surgical Wounds

Following surgery, your incision points will need proper care to heal without complications. Surgical wounds may range from minor cuts to more extensive incisions. Either way, our mobile healthcare professionals can help.

Symptoms

It is normal to experience pain and swelling around surgical sites after your operation. But if there are signs of redness, warmth, pus, or fever, there may be an infection. If so, let Mobile Wounds Healthcare address it promptly. We don’t want the wound to reopen.

Treatments

We always work to keep your incision site clean and dry while watching for signs of infection. Wound dressings are among our most common and effective treatments. We may also administer antibiotics to treat or prevent infections.
