A Safe, Convenient & Cost-Effective Approach The Finley Wound Care Center is a service for the treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds that do not respond to ordinary methods. It also offers patients and their families an opportunity to learn about their disease and how to become involved in the treatment.
The center offers thorough wound assessment by specially-trained staff, implementation of care, education, and follow-up to monitor progress of wound healing. This personalized care plus a little encouragement promotes healing, prevents infections, prevents re-injury, reduces hospital stays and allows patients to remain in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.
Patients may self-refer or contact your personal physician for a referral.
Hyperberbaric Oxygen Therapy To help in your healing, you may be referred for hyerbaric oxygen therapy, a simple but effective treatment in which you breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber.
The chamber has clear sides through which you can see your surroundings, and is in a comfortable treatment room equippedwith TV and videos. The therapy quickly and safely delivers high concentrations of oxygen to your bloodstream, which helps increase your body's own natural wound-healing abilities.
