Baylor Specialty Hospital Wound Care Program

The comprehensive Wound Care Program at Baylor Specialty Hospital offers an advanced healing environment for adult patients with acute, chronic or complicated wounds.

A multidisciplinary team treats wounds that result from diabetes, pressure, peripheral vascular disease, infection and complications of trauma or surgery. We offer a combination of therapeutic techniques, including hydrotherapy, debridement, medication and occlusive dressings as well as individualized nutritional plans, to facilitate healing.

Led by the medical director of wound care, the team consists of enterostomal therapy nurses and physical therapists who use advanced technology and medications to offer an aggressive and holistic wound care program. You receive individualized care designed to restore your health and physical capabilities.

Wound care clinicians use dressings and modalities designed to maintain a moist wound bed and decrease the number of painful dressing changes. Excisional debridement of unhealthy tissue can be provided as needed with each dressing change to maximize healing rate. The staff uses advanced wound dressings such as bio-engineered tissue products, specialty support surfaces and modalities and the Provant Wound Therapy System^®. Baylor Specialty Hospital has also developed innovative and advanced techniques to maximize the use of these products.
