Wound Care
Non-healing wounds can be a source of pain and disability. Some wounds can be easily treated with first aid and ointments, but others can be far more serious and may need medical attention. Wounds that do not heal within 3 weeks are often considered chronic. Timely detection and treatment of any wound can reduce the risk of amputation and improve your quality of life. Be aware and get the immediate care you need with UK St. Claire’s Advanced Wound Care team.
