At Cone Health, in partnership with Healogics, the nation's leading provider of advanced wound care services, our specialists work together to help chronic wounds heal, reduce the risk of complications and get you back to the activities that matter most.

Treating Diabetic Wounds

If you have diabetes, reduced feeling in your feet and legs can make it harder to notice cuts, sores or other injuries. Diabetes can also affect circulation, slowing the body's ability to heal.

Early treatment is important. The wound care specialists at Cone Health use advanced therapies and personalized treatment plans to help wounds heal, reduce complications and lower the risk of hospitalization or amputation.

Personalized Treatment

Your wound care team will develop an individualized treatment plan that may include:

• Collagen dressings that encourage the growth of new, healthy cells
• Compression wraps that improve blood flow back to the heart and reduce swelling
• Debridement, or removal of dead and damaged tissue
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy that enhances circulation and healing
• Natural and synthetic skin substitutes
• Skin grafts and flaps
