Limb Preservation, Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Program
At the Limb Preservation, Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Program, we recognize that it's not enough to treat the wound — instead, we keep the bigger picture in mind.
The entire patient is treated by looking into their nutrition and the control of other diseases, such as diabetes. In this way, the patient is properly prepared for the optimal healing process. The staff of the Wound Care-Hyperbaric Medicine Program includes physicians certified in wound care and hyperbaric medicine, registered nurses with extensive experience in this specialty, as well hyperbaric technicians certified in the use of hyperbaric chambers.
The Wound Care-Hyperbaric Medicine Program is a state-of-the art center dedicated to the treatment of difficult-to-heal wounds. Our specially trained healthcare providers are experts in wound care and use the most up-to-date treatment modalities available. Our multi-dimensional team approach calls on the combined expertise of various specialties including general, vascular and plastic surgery as well as infectious disease and other specialties that can have a positive impact on wound healing.
The modern treatment modalities to be used at the Limb Preservation, Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Program at Franklin Hospital have resulted in a 75-85% national healing rate.
