Our Wound Care Specialties
Ulcer Care
Ulcers are one of the most common and complex wound types we treat. These open sores can develop due to poor circulation, diabetes, or prolonged pressure, and require specialized treatment to avoid infection or complications.
We provide advanced care for:
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Venous Stasis Ulcers
- Arterial Insufficiency Ulcers
- Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores)
- Atypical Ulcers from Vasculitis or Autoimmune Conditions
General & Post-Surgical Wounds
From surgical incisions that aren't healing properly to traumatic injuries, wounds can disrupt daily life and recovery.
At El Paso Wound Care, we provide:
- Careful evaluation of surgical sites, traumatic wounds, or lacerations.
- Advanced dressings that protect against infection and promote faster healing.
- Debridement when necessary to remove non-healing or dead tissue.
- Patient and caregiver education to ensure proper wound care between visits.
Burn Care
Burns require immediate, skilled attention to avoid complications. Even non-critical burns can cause long-term damage if not properly managed.
Our burn care program focuses on:
- Pain Management: Using soothing dressings and medications to keep patients comfortable.
- Infection Prevention: Applying sterile dressings and monitoring the burn closely during follow-ups.
- Skin Healing & Scar Reduction: Promoting new skin growth and minimizing long-term scarring with modern burn care techniques.
- Functional Recovery: Helping patients regain mobility and confidence as their skin heals.
Chronic Wound Management
A chronic wound is one that fails to heal within three months, often due to conditions like diabetes, vascular disease, or prolonged immobility. These wounds can be painful, frustrating, and increase the risk of infection.
At El Paso Wound Care, we take a comprehensive approach:
- First, we determine why the wound isn't healing. Poor circulation, pressure, nerve damage, or underlying medical conditions are often the cause.
- Next, we use advanced therapies such as specialized dressings, debridement to remove dead tissue, and pressure-relief strategies.
- Finally, we support the body's natural healing process through nutrition guidance, education, and close follow-up care.
What to Expect in Your Healing Journey
Healing a wound isn't just about applying a dressing-it's about understanding the underlying cause, creating the right treatment plan, and supporting the body's natural healing process. At El Paso Wound Care, every patient receives a personalized journey that typically includes:
Comprehensive Assessment
Your healing begins with a detailed evaluation of your wound. Our team examines wound type, severity, and contributing factors such as circulation, nutrition, or underlying health conditions. For example, a diabetic foot ulcer requires a different approach than a post-surgical incision or a burn. By identifying these details early, we can build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Personalized Treatment
Once your wound has been assessed, we develop a customized treatment plan. This may include specialized dressings, debridement (removal of dead tissue), compression therapy, or advanced wound healing products designed to stimulate repair. We also teach patients and caregivers how to support healing at home.
Infection Monitoring
Preventing infection is one of the most important aspects of wound care. During follow-up visits, we closely monitor for redness, swelling, pain, or drainage-signs that may indicate an infection. If needed, we provide targeted antibiotics or adjust your treatment plan to keep the wound healing on track.
Ongoing Support & Scar Minimization
Healing doesn't end when the wound closes. We provide long-term support to minimize scarring, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence. Our goal is not just to heal your wound but to improve your overall quality of life.
Care Beyond the Clinic
House Calls for Homebound Patients
We bring expert wound and burn care directly to patients who cannot easily leave home, ensuring no one is left without access to healing.
Foster Care Support
