Multi-layer Compression Wraps

Tubular Compression/SpandaGrip

​Multi-layer compression wraps are a key component of treatment for venous leg ulcers and wounds complicated by chronic swelling. By applying graded pressure from the bottom of the toes upward, these wraps help reduce edema, improve venous return, and create a more favorable environment for healing. We select the specific compression system based on the patients' needs keeping comfort in mind—including options such as tubular compression, unna boots, and multilayer wraps—based on each patient’s vascular status, tolerance, and wound characteristics. Once healed, we will help the patient transition to a long-term regimen to help keep edema controlled even after discharge.

Pressure Reduction & Offloading

Pressure reduction and offloading are essential for wounds located on the feet, ankles, or other weight-bearing or high-friction areas. Continued pressure, shear, or repetitive trauma can prevent healing even when dressings and medications are appropriate. We use a variety of strategies—including specialized footwear, custom inserts, custom felt, offloading boots, and removable walking devices—to redistribute pressure away from the wound and protect vulnerable tissue, particularly in patients with diabetes or neuropathy. Keeping in mind long term stabilization and prevention for patients outside of the clinic, such as custom insert referrals for foot mapping for long term management. 

Topical Dressing

(Antimicrobials, Alginates, Collagen Dressings)

Topical dressings are selected to create an optimal wound environment by managing moisture, protecting the surrounding skin, and addressing bioburden when necessary. Depending on the wound’s appearance and level of drainage, we may use antimicrobial dressings, alginate dressings to absorb exudate, or collagen dressings to support the formation of new tissue. Dressing choices are reviewed and adjusted over time based on the wound’s response, with the goal of promoting steady progress toward closure while making home care as manageable as possible for patients and caregivers. 

Debridement of Non-viable Tissue

Debridement is the careful removal of non-viable, infected, or contaminated tissue from a wound to promote a healthier wound bed. Removing slough, necrotic tissue, and heavy callus can decrease bioburden, improve the effectiveness of topical therapies, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Our providers use techniques such as sharp, mechanical, or enzymatic debridement, choosing the method that is safest and most appropriate for each patient keeping tolerance and comfort in mind. 

Biologic Grafts

Biologic grafts, also called cellular and tissue-based products, are advanced dressings derived from donated human or animal tissue that support the body’s own repair processes. These products can provide a temporary scaffold for new tissue growth, deliver growth factors, and help re-establish a healthier wound environment in chronic or stalled wounds. In our clinic, biologic grafts are considered for select patients—after a thorough evaluation and in combination with meticulous wound care, offloading, or compression.
