  • Damage from Radiation Treatment
  • Bone Infection


If so, you may be one of more than five million Americans suffering from a chronic non-healing wound. 

We Are Specialists

The causes of a slow healing wound are as unique as the people who suffer them.  The team of specialists at the Advanced Wound Care Center offer advanced therapies and patient-focused procedures that speed healing and give you a chance to enjoy life again.  Our multi-disciplinary approach looks at each individual and the conditions that affect healing, so we not only heal the wound, but prevent it from happening again.

If you are suffering from any of the following, specialists at the Advanced Wound Care Center at Southern Hills can help:

  • Diabetic Ulcers
  • Venous Ulcers
  • Arterial Ulcers
  • Compromised flaps or grafts
  • Radiation tissue injury
  • Non-healing surgical wounds
  • Soft tissue infections

Specialized Therapies

Depending on the causes of non-healing, there are a variety of advanced treatments available to speed healing including bioengineered skin substitutes, therapeutic dressing materials and antimicrobial topical therapies.  Growth factors—substances that stimulate healing—might be applied topically. 

About 15 percent of chronic wounds may also benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which delivers oxygen at a rate two to three times higher than normal air pressure inside a chamber.
