Traumatic Wounds

Expert Treatment for Injuries and Skin Tears — Delivered in the Comfort of Home

Traumatic wounds can occur suddenly and often require prompt, skilled care to prevent complications. Whether caused by a fall, accident, or fragile skin, these wounds demand careful evaluation and consistent follow-up — especially in older adults or individuals with limited mobility.

We bring advanced, physician-led treatment for traumatic wounds directly to your home, providing safe, comfortable, and effective care when you need it most.

What Are Traumatic Wounds?

Traumatic wounds include injuries caused by:

Falls

Skin tears in fragile or aging skin

Post-injury swelling leading to skin breakdown

Injuries from wheelchairs, walkers, or furniture

Lacerations or cuts

Blunt-force injuries

Accidental trauma during transfers

Wounds caused by shear or friction

What to Expect With Our In-Home Care

Comprehensive Evaluation

Wound depth and shape, tissue viability, bruising or hematoma, circulation, signs of infection, surrounding skin, mobility patterns, and risk factors for recurrence.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Clear, structured plan based on wound type, medical history, mobility level, skin fragility, environmental factors, and risk for re-injury.

Debridement & Wound Bed Preparation

Sharp, mechanical, or enzymatic debridement to remove non-viable tissue and promote healing.

Infection Prevention & Monitoring

Close monitoring for early signs of infection with coordination for cultures and antibiotics if needed.

Advanced Dressings for Fragile Skin

Non-adherent dressings, protective silicone-based dressings, moisture-balanced coverings, supportive padding, and edema-reducing wraps.

Guidance for Caregivers

Safe transfers, mobility assistance, falls prevention, protecting fragile skin, dressing changes, and home safety adjustments.

Regular Follow-Up Visits

Consistent monitoring ensures progression, prevents pain, and reduces the risk of reinjury.

Who Is at Higher Risk?

These wounds are more common in individuals with:

Aging or fragile skin

Poor circulation

Dementia or cognitive decline

Chronic steroid use

Recent hospitalization

Diabetes

Balance issues

Mobility challenges

Lymphedema

Assistive device use

We tailor our approach to support both patients and caregivers in preventing future injuries.
