Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine

If you suffer from a non-healing wound, it can keep you from enjoying an active life. We care for people with wounds that have resisted healing for months or even years with traditional treatment. Using advanced wound care, hyperbaric medicine or both, our highly skilled physicians and nurses can provide relief and promote healing.

At CHI Franciscan, we offer advanced wound care in our centers throughout the Puget Sound area. Our dedicated physicians and nurses focus solely on treating chronic wounds, bringing their experience and training from several disciplines.

How wound care can help you

Nonhealing wounds are sores or wounds that do not significantly improve within a month or heal entirely within two months. If you have such a wound, our wound care providers can help.

These conditions may serve as a basis for referral to wound care:

Diabetic foot wounds
Post-radiation tissue damage, a rare complication of radiation therapy for cancer, which kills bone and soft tissue
Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia, such as a crush injury or open fracture that tears major arteries
Compromised skin grafts and flaps
Surgical wounds
Trauma-related wounds
Thermal burns caused by contact with flames or heated objects
Actinomycosis, a chronic bacterial infection that affects the face and neck
Necrotizing fasciitis , a rare bacterial infection that spreads quickly and destroys soft tissues (also known as “flesh-eating” infection)
