Surgical Wounds & Incisions.

Most incisions close without drama. The ones that do not, edges separating, drainage that changes color, redness marching outward, tend to declare themselves in the first weeks at home, exactly when the surgeon is hardest to reach and the family is guessing. That gap between the operating room and the follow-up appointment is where we work.

Our clinicians assess the incision at the bedside, manage dressings and drainage, recognize dehiscence and infection early, and communicate directly with the surgical team so decisions get made on facts instead of a worried phone description. For wounds that need negative pressure therapy, see wound VAC care at home.

Edges pulling apart. Drainage that turns cloudy, bloody, or foul. Spreading redness or warmth. Fever after discharge. Or simply an incision nobody has looked at since the hospital, and a follow-up appointment that is still weeks away.
