Chronic wound causes
We expect our bodies to heal quickly and routinely, but, in reality, healing is a very complicated process. Without proper treatment, chronic wounds can become critically infected or gangrenous and may require amputation. These difficult-to-heal wounds can result from various causes:
- Arterial or venous ulcers
- Chemical burns
- Circulatory conditions
- Collagen vascular disease
- Poor diabetes management
- Heart failure
- Lymphedema
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Pressure sores
- Surgical site breakdown
- Spinal injury
- Traumatic injury
Wound treatments and therapies
At Medical City Healthcare, we provide a wide range of solutions for patients with critical wounds, including:
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Advanced wound dressings
- Compression therapy

- Nutritional counseling
- Plastic surgery
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Protective footwear
- Negative pressure wound therapy
- Incision and drainage
