Get Back Your Quality of Life and Live Life to Its Fullest
Our team of wound care specialists work with you and your physician to help you heal.
If you or a loved one has a wound or sore that has not healed in 30 days, you may have what is referred to as a “chronic, non-healing” wound.
Chronic, non-healing wounds can have serious health consequences and may adversely affect your quality of life.
At UofL Health – Wound Care, healing wounds is our specialty.
Our treatment plans are designed to complement the care your own physician provides, ensuring that your health care team is always working together to provide the treatment that’s right for you.
Most treatments are covered by Medicare/Medicaid, HMOs and other private insurance plans and may include:
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Specialized wound dressings
- Off-loading (taking pressure off the wound)
- Sharp debridement (removal of dead tissue)
- Compression therapy
We have a proven track record of healing wounds – even those wounds that have not responded to other therapies often see significant improvement.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a treatment in which the patient breathes 100% pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber.
The increased air pressure inside the chamber helps your blood carry more oxygen to organs and connective tissues to promote wound healing.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is provided once daily for approximately four to six weeks. One treatment takes about two hours and is quite comfortable for most patients.
Call 502-992-7689 today to find out how we
can help you start healing.
