Santa Fe Podiatrists specialize in identifying the underlying causes of wounds that have a difficult time healing and provide a program of healing that can fast track a patient’s recovery. Steps include, but are not strictly limited to debridement (the removal of dead tissue and cleaning of the wound area), compression therapy (the use of specialized compression elastic socks and bandages), skin grafting (application of skin substitutes to cover and provide full closure of the wound) and negative pressure therapy (wound-vac treatment). If you have a wound that has not seen improvement in two weeks or more, schedule an appointment with a Santa Fe Podiatrist today.
