Consistent assessment
Measurement on every visit, so a change in the wound is seen in days, not weeks.
Request a visitLimb preservation
Wound care built around keeping the limb.
When a diabetic foot ulcer, arterial wound, or non-healing lower-extremity wound stops improving, time matters. We bring limb-preservation-oriented care to the bedside and keep the referring clinician, the family, and the care team working from the same plan.
Why it matters
The stakes are documented.
Published research puts five-year mortality after a diabetic foot ulcer at roughly 30 percent, on par with cancer overall, and above 50 percent after a major amputation (Armstrong et al., Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2020). Numbers like these are why a non-healing foot or leg wound is treated as urgent, structured care rather than watchful waiting.
Many limb-threatening wounds are lost not to a single event but to gaps: a missed follow-up after discharge, a dressing plan no one at home understands, a change in the wound that goes unreported for weeks. Bringing structured care to where the person already is closes those gaps.
What the care includes
Structured surveillance, not watchful waiting.
Debridement when appropriate
At the bedside, within the scope the wound allows.
Request a visitOffloading & pressure awareness
Because the best dressing loses to a wound that keeps bearing weight.
Request a visitVascular vigilance
Early escalation to podiatry, vascular, and surgical partners the moment the wound needs more.
