What Types of Non-Healing Wounds Do We Treat?

Dr. Zinder diagnoses your skin ulcer/wound first, before appropriate treatment can begin.  Each of these etiologies includes a variety of non-healing ulcers/wounds that require specialized treatment. Fortunately, Dr. Zinder has years of experience in providing comprehensive care for all non-healing wounds, including:

• Venous stasis ulcers from venous insufficiency on your legs and “leaking” blood vessels 
• Diabetic neuropathic ulcers, which are mostly on lower extremities, are difficult to heal and may lead to amputation
• Pressure-related ulcers (formerly known as pressure sores, bedsores or decubitus ulcers), found over bones from unrelieved pressure
• Ischemic ulcers on your skin, caused by insufficient blood flow (aka. arterial ulcers)
• Traumatic injuries, including lacerations, cuts and scrapes
• Abscesses and other infectious wounds
• Hematomas or bleeding areas that are open and intact
• Animal and insect bites that refuse to heal
• Surgical incision wounds that have been slow to heal
• Post-surgical wound that developed after a recent surgery
