Wound Care
Offered at McLaren Flint
The McLaren Wound Care Clinic specializes in treating acute and chronic hard-to-heal wounds. In 2020 the clinical care team expanded and now includes three podiatrists, two of which are podiatric surgeons, and a general surgeon. This specialized team of doctors, and our nurses, is solely dedicated to treating wounds, including many that have resisted healing after months and even years of traditional treatment. McLaren was the first area hospital to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) and the care team uses only proven, advanced treatment techniques. The types of wounds treated include vascular leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical or traumatic wounds and wounds caused by edema, cancer, radiation treatment, burns, infections and scleroderma.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy offered by McLaren Flint
Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Program has a long history of successfully treating diabetic wounds, complications from radiation therapy, chronic bone infections, non-healing skin grafts or flaps, and crush injuries. Studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases an individual’s ability to heal wounds. The use of HBO in combination with advanced wound care has been proven to prevent amputations. It's a thoroughly tested, FDA approved, completely safe and painless therapy that has helped thousands of patients heal faster and better than ever before.
