Wound healing technology

LewisGale Regional Health System offers southwest Virginia residents access to the most advanced technology for treating chronic wounds, including:

  • Doppler technology and transcutaneous oxygen monitoring—These technologies assist physicians in assessing both the circulation and amount of oxygen available to surrounding tissue.
  • Arteriography—This is an imaging procedure that generates an X-ray of the blood vessels.
  • Advanced dressing regimens—Our wound healing specialists employ moist wound care principles and use advanced technologies, such as the negative pressure device, biological skin substitutes and multilayer compression wraps.
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)—HBOT treatment combines an oxygen-enriched atmosphere with high pressure to increase the oxygen in the blood plasma.

In addition to advanced technology, we also offer wound care digital photography, an imaging service that enables our care team to conduct a complete medical evaluation.
