What to Expect
Some things don’t get better with time. We can help. Our number one goal is to create the ideal environment for wound healing. During an evaluation, we will:
- Clean and irrigate the wound
- Remove dead tissue
- Determine the type of dressing to use
- Educate you on caring for the dressing
- Apply compression, if needed
- Set a schedule for continued care, if needed
We provide ongoing care, using a variety of dressing types and treatment techniques to find a solution that works for you.
Hyperbaric Therapy
To aid in the healing process, Rutherford Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This treatment technique delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment to the wound. The combination of pressure and oxygen increases the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream. This innovative treatment is like a "breath of fresh air" for your wound, helping to accelerate the healing process.
At Rutherford Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center, we’re here to help your wound heal faster and more comfortably. That’s why we use hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other advanced modalities as part of an evidence-based treatment protocol. With this specialized program designed around your needs, you’ll receive quality care that’s proven to work. The sooner you visit our facility, the sooner we can begin treating your wound and getting you back to living life without limits.
We are affiliated with Wound Care Advantage, which provides management and consulting services for outpatient wound care to hospitals nationwide.
