Medically, After 30 days, non healing wounds become eligible for advanced wound care. At this point, closing non healing wounds becomes urgent. The longer a wound is open, the more severe the consequences can become. There are many medical offices that practice wound care, but just a select few that utilize the techniques the video spoke about and that you will find on this page. 

When you have a diabetic ulcer, pressure sore, or non healing wound – here’s something to think about. In 2022, 431,429 Limbs Were AMPUTATED due to Inefficient Wound Care. If this is you, please make getting effective care a priority.

Wounds that have failed to heal after 4-6 weeks of traditional medical care, are considered non-healing, or chronic wounds.

Chronic or Non-Healing Wounds become eligible for the most aggressive and effective treatment options because of the severe health dangers they pose. Venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and arterial ulcers, as well as wounds caused by radiation therapy, surgical complications, and some skin cancers are examples of wounds that may need advanced wound care in order to close.

The BIG 3 When it Comes to Wound Care – And Why it Matters So Darn Much:

There are three primary ways that advanced wounds are treated. These are considered the most effective treatment options for chronic or advanced wounds today. The first practice is common. It has been used for hundreds of years for wounds. Since the Civil War, in fact. Then there are the other big two. One is more facility based, as in many major hospitals have hyperbaric chambers. The other can be done in a doctor’s office, but is is rapidly gaining popularity as an in home non surgical way of wrapping wounds.

With that in mind, let’s look at how the top wound care practitioners are finding success with difficult ulcers, pressure sores and wounds. 

Most common is the debride, clean and wrap practice. Since the civil war, this practice has mostly remained the same. 

Keep the wound moist, clean and shielded, while hoping for the best. There are many reasons for a wound, and wounds often do not heal because of underlying issues, so one would naturally go through this painful treatment and hope for the best. 

What the wound is wrapped with can have a significant impact on how well the wound heals.

There is a new treatment that the Medicare Part B and Tricare have recently approved that goes along with wrapping a wound. It is almost entirely effective and only the most advanced wound care specialists practice this method. 

 Where to Receive Treatments:

• A general doctor’s office
• In a hospital
• In skilled nursing facilities
• In home care situations

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN CHAMBER FOR WOUND CARE

Maybe you have heard about this one too. It’s hyperbaric oxygen therapy. To sum this method up, and why it works you first have to put yourself in pressurized tube.  

That’s right, hyperbaric chambers are pressurized and allow you to breath air highly concentrated with Oxygen for up to two hours at a time. The idea is that increased oxygen in the bloodstream has been proven to be of benefit to wound sufferers, in addition to many others. Including athletes for performance. 

By increasing your oxygen levels, your immune system becomes stronger and in turn your body fights infections and heals more effectively. 

*While hyperbaric therapy is covered by insurance, you can expect up to 40 visits and may have to travel somewhat far to find a facility. 

Where To Receive Treatments:

• A specialty facility 
• A hospital

Back to the wound wraps hidden star that only the most advanced chronic wound mobile practices are using these days for almost perfect results.  

Amniotic Wraps. 

They supercharge wound healing for many reasons. Simplified, with an amniotic wound wrap, the wound is constantly exposed to powerful nutrients that tend to be almost entirely effective for closing even severe wounds.

This can happen relatively quickly. Just think about what it wound be like to close your wound with as few as 5 non surgical treatments that take place in the comfort of your own home! 

From what we know, it can change your life and help you get back to normal.

DUE TO THE HIGH LEVELS OF GROWTH FACTORS AND OTHER KEY NUTRIENTS, AMNIOTIC WRAPS ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY EFFECTIVE FOR WOUND CARE. 

• The primary way allograft wound wrap patches work is by providing nutrients, growth factors, and healing factors directly to the wound.
• Allograft wound wraps are typically applied once every 5 to 10 days.
• The primary difference between this and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber is that an allograft patch is consistently making contact with a wound, whereas a hyperbaric chamber works while you are receiving treatments.
• The Allograft Patch is always making contact with and nourishing the wound, while a hyperbaric chamber works while you are in the chamber.
• Even though Medicare part B just recently started covering allograft based wound wraps, they are not new.

Medicare Part B and Tricare provide coverage for just about any type of amniotic wound wrap.

Where To Receive Treatments:

• A specialty facility 
• A hospital
• In Your Home
• A medical office

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INSURANCE AND BILLING TO AVOID WOUND CARE TRAIN WRECKS AND DISASTERS:

• Medical billing affects you more than you know. Amniotic Allograft Wound Wraps and Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments can be complicated to bill (insurance) for.
• MANY PRACTICES WILL NOT PERFORM PROCEDURES THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO BILL FOR. This is why not all wound care practices offer hyperbaric oxygen chambers of allograft wound wraps.
• Different kinds of insurance cover different products / brands. There are different types of hyperbaric oxygen chambers and wound wraps. Although Medicare Part B and Tricare cover just about anything that insurance will cover, many plans LACK coverage.
  • Medicare Advantage Plans (often called Medicare Part C) are all unique in their coverage of Allograft Wraps.
  • Medicaid and Under 65 Years of Age insurance plans are unique in their benefits.
  • Locating a facility that uses HIGH QUALITY wound care products that accepts YOUR INSURANCE is CRITICAL in receiving proper wound care. Most Specialty Practices (Hyperbaric Oxygen and Mobile Wound Care) know how to treat you successfully and work with your insurance.
• Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers and Allograft Wound Wraps are often NOT COVERED FOR SMOKERS. Tobacco users should discontinue with use in order to get treatment.
• ADVANCED WOUND CARE is NOT available for patients of Skilled Nursing Facilities. This has to do with the cost of the wrap and the way in which skilled nursing facilities are paid by insurance carriers for providing care.
• If you are receiving HOME CARE you will not be eligible for ADVANCED WOUND CARE. This is due to billing regulations pertaining to home care.

LET’S PRESUME YOU NEED WOUND CARE – HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS:

Getting established as a patient can be simple. hyperbaric oxygen chambers are often in hospitals, so you would simply follow hospital procedures to receive care. We have published a directory of Hyperbaric Practices and care practices here. If you would like to be treated at home with wound wraps, then you will likely need to complete patient intake forms online. This typically requires a call phone or computer with an internet connection. You may have to upload some pictures, so it helps to have someone helping you if you do not easily use technology. The good news is that once it’s done, it’s done!

• Advanced Wound Care can take place in a Doctor’s office or in your home. Mobile Wound Care is rapidly gaining popularity as a preferred method.
• For home treatment, you may be asked to complete Online Patient Intake Forms. These are the same forms you would complete in an office, but for home visits you will typically have to complete the intake process online.
  
• Authorization from your insurance carrier can take between 2-7 days.
   
• If you have infected wounds, the infections will be treated first, before you receive advanced wound care.
• With allograft wound wraps, you can expect up to 8 non surgical treatments. With hyperbaric oxygen, up to 40 treatments. 

Do NOT wait until things get worse to treat wounds that are not healing. Things can get back to normal faster than you might expect.

Additional information about different types of wounds can be found below:

Specific Types of Non-Healing Wounds:

• Venous Ulcers:

• • Often located in the legs and ankles, these ulcers are caused by poor blood flow in the veins, leading to tissue damage and swelling.
• Diabetic Ulcers:
  • These ulcers typically affect the feet and legs and are a common complication of diabetes, often resulting from poor blood circulation and nerve damage. 

• Pressure Ulcers:

• • Also known as bedsores, these ulcers occur due to prolonged pressure on the skin, often in areas where bone is close to the skin. 

• Arterial Ulcers:

• • These ulcers are caused by poor blood flow in the arteries, leading to a 
  • lack of oxygen and nutrients to the affected tissues. 

• Wounds from Radiation Therapy:

• • Radiation therapy can cause skin damage and ulcers, which may take a long time to heal. 

• Surgical Wounds:

• • Wounds that do not heal properly after surgery can be due to various factors, including infection, poor blood flow, or underlying medical conditions. 

• Wounds from Skin Cancer:

• • Some skin cancers can lead to ulcers that may be slow to heal. 

When a non healing wound is NOT treated, it becomes much more dangerous. Here’s a more detailed look at the dangers:

• Infections:
  • Bacteria, viruses, or fungi can enter the wound and cause a localized infection, leading to pain, swelling, redness, and warmth.

• Spread of infection to surrounding tissues:
  • If left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues, causing cellulitis or osteomyelitis (bone infection).
• Systemic infections:
  • Infections can enter the bloodstream, leading to a serious systemic infection called sepsis, which can be life-threatening.
• Tissue Damage and Amputation:
  • Necrosis (tissue death): Poor blood flow can cause tissue damage and necrosis, especially in conditions like peripheral vascular disease.
  • Amputation: In severe cases, the damage may become so extensive that amputation of the affected limb becomes necessary to prevent the spread of infection or to save the patient’s life.

• Chronic Pain and Reduced Quality of Life
• Chronic pain

Non-healing wounds can cause persistent pain, affecting daily activities and overall quality of life. 

• Reduced mobility:
  • Pain and wound size can limit mobility and make it difficult to perform daily tasks.

• Psychological distress:
  • The physical and emotional impact of a non-healing wound can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, and social isolation.

Other Complications:

• Excessive scar tissue:
  • Wounds that don’t heal properly can lead to the formation of excessive scar tissue, which can restrict movement and function.

• Edema:
  • Swelling caused by fluid buildup can occur, especially in the legs, and can hinder wound healing.

• Periwound dermatitis:
  • Skin damage around the wound can occur, especially with moisture-related issues.
