Foot Wounds & Ulcers
Foot wounds are not limited to patients with diabetes. Care may include evaluation, appropriate dressings, pressure reduction, monitoring, and other treatment based on the wound and underlying medical factors.
Wound Debridement
When medically appropriate, wound debridement can be performed in the office. Debridement involves removing unhealthy or nonviable tissue from a wound to assist with wound management and allow the area to be properly evaluated and treated. The need for debridement depends on the type and condition of the wound.
