Wound Care
Wound care in Jackson Hole
If you have a wound or an ulcer that has not healed within four weeks or has not healed entirely in two months, you may have what is classified as a chronic or non-healing wound.
There are many types of wounds, and they can become chronic for a variety of reasons. Chronic wounds can result from complications with diabetes or poor circulation. Other types can be caused from pressure ulcers and trauma. Chronic or non-healing wounds can be very frustrating to live with, and if not addressed by a specialty-care provider, may cause serious health issues.
