Each year, an estimated 7 to 10 million suffer from chronic or complex post surgical wounds here in the United States – 75% of which require a stay in a long term facility or home care services. Not only is our population living longer, but we are surviving longer as well. Modern medicine now allows us to survive catastrophic medical events. Unfortunately, this has led to a drastic increase in the numbers of wound and skin issues. Wound Care centers help, but they can only effectively reach the ambulatory population, or about 20 - 25% of patients in need of expert wound care.
Wound care is often a frustrating problem for health care professionals. Traditional treatment frequently can be ineffective, complex and time-consuming. Yet, despite limited resources, you still face mounting pressure to provide high-quality wound treatment.
In spite of the growing demand, there are only a few physicians who specialize in wound care management in each community. In fact, because of problems they associate with wound treatment, most prefer not to deal with it at all … UNTIL NOW!
