Advanced Wound Care

There is a growing trend in the development of wound managment centers in the U.S.  Combination platelet leukocyte rich plasma (PLRP/PRP) and hyperbaric systemic oxygenation (HBO) is safe and effective in the treatement of refractory wounds.

Wound healing is typically slowed by decreased fibroblast proliferation collagen production, and capillary angiogenesis in a hypoxic environment. Hypoxia allows growth of anaerobic organisms which may make matters worse during the healing process. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides a significant increase in tissue oxygenation in the hypoperfused, infected wound. It influences the rate of collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and bacterial clearance in wounds. The greatest benefits are achieved in tissues with compromised blood flow and oxygen supply.

 SAMI can help implement a treatment plan that addresses the reversible causes to obtain healing.  SAMI consults on a variety of wound types which include:  diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, complicated surgical wounds, and venous ulcers.
