Advanced Wound Therapies

Science. Compassion. Real Healing.

Some wounds require additional approaches when healing is delayed or the wound is complex. B & B Complete Wound & Wellness evaluates each patient’s wound, overall health considerations, and care goals to determine whether advanced wound therapies may be appropriate. These therapies are considered as part of an individualized treatment plan and do not guarantee a particular healing result.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses a concentration of platelets prepared from a patient’s own blood. In selected cases, a clinician may consider PRP as an adjunct to wound management. Suitability depends on the wound, the patient’s health, clinical judgment, and applicable requirements.

Skin substitutes and cellular or tissue-based products may provide a wound covering or scaffold intended to support the healing environment for certain wounds. Product selection and use depend on the wound type, medical necessity, clinical eligibility, and payer or authorization requirements.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), commonly known as Wound VAC therapy, uses controlled negative pressure through a specialized dressing and device. When prescribed and appropriate, it may help manage wound fluid and support wound management. Patients and caregivers receive guidance relevant to the prescribed device and care plan.

Advanced wound dressings may include foam, hydrocolloid, hydrogel, alginate, collagen, antimicrobial, or other specialized dressings. The choice depends on factors such as wound location, drainage, tissue condition, surrounding skin, and the clinician’s assessment. Dressings are selected to help protect the wound and maintain a suitable healing environment.

Advanced therapies are only one part of wound care. Assessment of underlying causes, appropriate pressure relief, circulation considerations, nutrition, infection evaluation, and consistent follow-up are also important.
