Read MoreWound care is critical to managing chronic conditions and supporting healing. Inspira offers a compassionate, all-encompassing approach that includes advanced treatments, comprehensive education and support to ensure patients throughout South Jersey receive the care they need.
Wound care is the medical treatment of injuries or conditions that result in broken skin, ulcers or chronic sores. These wounds can be caused by underlying conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, pressure, surgical procedures or trauma. Timely treatment can prevent infection, enhance healing and improve overall quality of life.
At Inspira, we take a holistic approach to advanced wound care, recognizing that healing goes beyond treating the wound. We consider the factors that may affect your recovery—such as chronic conditions like diabetes, transportation barriers and medication access. Our team works closely with you to navigate the medical, social and financial aspects of wound treatment.
For diabetic patients, we offer specialized wound care education and dietetic services to ensure you understand how nutrition affects the healing process. We also collaborate with case management to coordinate patient discharge instructions and home health services to provide comprehensive care for patients with traumatic wounds or chronic conditions that may complicate recovery. We are committed to providing personalized, compassionate care that addresses each patient’s medical and logistical needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes for healing and recovery.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting faster healing in chronic wounds. This advanced therapy plays a key role in treating patients with slow-healing wounds, helping to accelerate recovery and improve outcomes.
Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, can develop when prolonged pressure on the skin reduces blood flow, often affecting people who are bedridden or use wheelchairs. We provide advanced treatments, including wound debridement and specialized dressings, to promote healing and prevent further complications.
Poor circulation can result in vascular wounds, including arterial, venous and ischemic ulcers. We offer comprehensive care that includes wound management, pressure relief and working with a team of specialists to improve circulation and support overall healing.
Surgical wounds require careful management to prevent infection and ensure proper healing. We provide post-surgical wound care, paying attention to hygiene, dressing changes and monitoring for signs of infection to ensure optimal recovery.
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) uses controlled suction to draw fluid from a wound and increase blood flow to promote healing. This therapy helps chronic or complex wounds by accelerating tissue regeneration and improving wound closure.
Inspira’s approach to wound care goes beyond medical treatment. We provide comprehensive support, including case management to help you access resources, medications and transportation. We understand that issues like diabetic ulcers or vascular wounds may require ongoing care and attention, so we offer flexible appointments and nursing visits to accommodate your schedule.
We collaborate closely with home health organizations and local nursing homes to ensure patients with chronic or traumatic wounds continue their care even after discharge. We provide personalized guidance on how diet and lifestyle choices can affect healing, giving you the tools for long-term recovery.
Advanced wound care involves specialized treatments for slow-healing and complex wounds. These treatments aim to promote faster healing, reduce the risk of infection and improve circulation, addressing the wound itself and any underlying health issues that may impede recovery.
Signs of a wound infection include increased redness, swelling and warmth around the wound site. You may also notice increased pain or the presence of pus or other drainage. A foul odor, a fever or chills are also signs of infection. Prompt treatment prevents further complications, so it's essential to seek care if any of these symptoms arise.
How often you need to visit depends on the type of wound and any underlying health conditions. For chronic wounds, you may need more frequent visits. If you’re generally healthy, treatment may take less time.
The healing time varies based on the wound type and your overall health. Patients with chronic conditions like diabetes or vascular disease may experience slower healing, but our team works with you to create a treatment plan that suits your needs. Some wounds, like arterial or ischemic ulcers, may require advanced care methods for optimal healing.
