Only center located between Waco and Austin

The center operates on an outpatient basis dedicated to the treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds. The program’s specialized approach to complex wound management combines current assessments, evidence-based treatment practices, innovative technologies and education to meet each patient’s individual needs.

Wound Care Services

The therapies and treatments offered are based on clinical algorithms that have met with documented success. These algorithms have been formulated based on data from many researchers specializing in the care and prevention of wounds.

The types of wounds seen in the center are:
Diabetic/Neurotrophic Ulcers
Pressure Ulcers
Arterial & Venous Vascular Ulcers
Traumatic or Surgical Wounds
Infected or Non-healing Wounds
Small Burns (not more than 10% total body surface area)

Hyperbaric Services

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which the patient breathes 100 percent oxygen while enclosed in a pressurized chamber at greater than normal atmospheric pressure. While breathing pure oxygen, the patient’s blood plasma becomes saturated, carrying 20 to 30 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body’s tissue. This results in the body’s natural wound-healing mechanisms - which are oxygen dependent - being able to function more efficiently.
