                      Wound Center Staff Urge Patients Not to Delay Wound Care Services

                      1/17/2023

                      Chronic wounds affect an estimated 8.2 million Americans, and the number continues to climb. Specialized wound care, though, not only speeds healing but also helps prevent infection and limb loss. In fact, one study found that patients who attended regularly scheduled wound care visits had a 25% lower hospital readmission rate.

                      This reinforces what Northwest Medical Center – Bentonville Wound & Hyperbaric Center staff already knows – wound care is essential to the health and well-being of patients with wounds.

                      Now, more than ever, it’s important to remember the importance of regularly-scheduled wound care visits in order to protect the health of these patients and prevent an escalation of their disease.

                      The wound care center recommends that patients call for an appointment if they are experiencing any of the following:

                      • An existing, slow-to-heal or non-healing wound
                      • Foot or leg ulcer or wound
                      • Non-healing surgical wound
                      • Non-healing skin graft or surgical flap
                      • Symptoms occurring on or around a point of radiation (such as pain, rectal or bladder bleeding)
                      • Bone infection, also called osteomyelitis
                      • Crush injury

                      Northwest Medical Center – Bentonville Wound & Hyperbaric Center provides a comprehensive approach to treating patients with non-healing wounds. The team features clinicians with advanced training in wound care and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy.

                      If you have a wound, wound care is essential. Let the wound center team help you heal. For more information about wound care, HBO therapy or to schedule an appointment, call (479) 553-3100. No referral is required.
