Wound Grafting and Care
Chronic wounds can struggle to heal when the body cannot regenerate healthy tissue quickly enough.
Wound grafting is a specialized treatment that helps stimulate healing by placing advanced biological or synthetic graft materials directly onto the wound. These grafts provide a protective scaffold that supports new tissue growth, encourages healthy blood vessel formation, and helps the body repair damaged skin.
Wound grafting is commonly used for diabetic ulcers, arterial wounds, venous ulcers, and other chronic wounds that have not healed with standard care alone.
Step-by-Step Overview
After making sure that the wound has proper blood flow, our specially trained nurses will teach you and your family how to take care of your wounds in preparation for a grafting procedure.
For thirty days, we will work with you to monitor the healing of your wound and your symptoms to determine if grafting is right for you.
The wound is carefully cleaned and prepared to remove non-viable tissue.
The clinician evaluates the wound size, depth, and blood supply.
A specialized graft material is selected based on the wound type and clinical needs.
The graft is gently placed over the wound to support tissue regeneration.
The graft is secured and covered with a protective dressing.
Follow-up visits allow the care team to monitor healing progress.
