Wash your hands thoroughly
Remove any jewelry, then wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 15 to 30 seconds. Dry your hands with a clean towel before proceeding.
Surgical wounds are usually meant to heal on their own, but infections can occur at the surgical incision and opening of the sutures. The office will work closely with the surgeons that patients are using and work toward a quick closure of these surgical wounds.
After surgery, a wound can become infected and often the incision will open. When treating these, the infected tissue will be removed surgically and frequently the office will apply the Wound VAC device over the incision, actively draining the wound.
Proper wound care helps prevent infection, encourages healing, and minimizes scarring. Follow these simple steps to safely clean and redress your wound at home.
Complex foot wounds are usually considered to be those with bone exposure. These types of wounds will often require the use of a muscle flap or free flap with a skin graft.
For example, a gangrenous foot would be managed with surgical excision of the dead tissues, an ultrasound debridement, and the placement of the Wound VAC device over the bones. This helps to form healthy granulation tissue. A skin graft using a skin substitute will also be required with this type of wound.
