This 60 year old female patient was bitten by a feral cat on 5/22/25. She self treated the wound until seen at The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic on 6/3/25. Initially her leg was red with noted necrotic tissue. We had seen her in the past for other wounds she had. She did have a history of poor wound healing, lymphedema/venous disease (she had already undergone vascular work-up/ treatment for these issues) and a history of smoking. We started IM & oral antibiotics. We also began regular debridement of the wound. There was one area of the wound that was slow to respond to treatment. The patient was also very sensitive to the debridements. Due to these two factors it was decided to send the patient for surgical evaluation. She did undergo surgical debridement and received IV antibiotics while in the hospital. She was referred back to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic upon discharge from the hospital. We continued serial debridements, dealt with comorbidities, and used advanced topicals for closure. The patient’s spouse was integral in performing care for the patient. She was discharged on 12/18/25.

This patient had a fall at home on 4/15/2025. He was seen in his local ER that night. He was instructed to follow up with his primary care provider. His wife contacted The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic on 04/21/2025 and we saw him in the clinic the next day. He was not on any blood thinners, but he described himself as a “free bleeder”. Upon examination of the wound we immediately recognized he had a very large, encapsulated hematoma. Though the wound was “closed” it’s what is going on under that ceiling that matters. We also recognized this debridement was much too large to be performed in the clinic. We contacted a local surgeon, and he had evacuation of the hematoma and debridement performed in the OR the next day. The patient was then referred back to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic for wound management. The patient had several comorbidities that slowed healing that had to be addressed. We also referred him to home health to assist with his care. Over the next several months the wound required weekly debridements. He also developed a large amount of hyper granulation tissue that required cauterization. These treatments along with other advance wound care modalities led to closure of the wound in January. At the Wound Ostomy Care Clinic we recognize when a wound/ostomy requires a higher level of care and waste no time in making sure the patient gets that care.

This is a very active 89 year old male that had a wound on his left foot for several months prior to being referred to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic. He had failed all previous treatment. He is a diabetic and was referred to a local diabetes clinic around the same time. They quickly got his blood sugar under control which helped with his wound healing. We also had to convince him to stop mowing all of his neighbors yards for a while. Again, we focused on cleaning the wound up and then on closing the wound. This required frequent sharp debridement and specialized dressings. He also required specific antibiotic therapy once we obtained his wound culture report. Cellular tissue products led to significant improvement in the wound. Our major issue with his wound healing was getting pressure off the area (off-loading). He is dependent upon himself for all activities of daily living. This ruled out devices such as crutches, knee scooters or off-loading boots due to the risk of falls. We worked with him to find shoes and identify other steps that provided partial off-loading. After several months his wound did close and he was discharged.
Just a reminder, no matter how good the wound care you are receiving is there are certain factors that if not corrected your wound WILL NOT CLOSE. The two identified with this patient are elevated blood sugar and off-loading. If you consistently have blood sugars greater than 180mg/dl your wound will not heal. There are some wound care treatments that are not allowed if the patient’s blood sugar is not under control. Off-loading is one of the most difficult issues we must deal with. There are many ways to get weight/pressure off the wound area but not all patients can tolerate them. It often takes some time for us to identify one that works and the patient can tolerate.

Here is a different one.
This patient came to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic on 08/07/2025 after being referred by his P*P. He had been stung, bit, or jabbed by some sort of sea creature while on vacation four weeks earlier. His family reported a “blue tentacle” wrapped around his leg at the site of the wound that they removed. Around four days after the incident he was seen in Urgent Care. The site was cleaned and he was discharged. Sometime after that he was seen at home in a local ER where he received IV/oral antibiotics but no debridement. At this point he had a false ceiling of soft eschar covering the wound. Seven days later he saw his P*P who immediately referred him to us. Our priority was removing the non-viable tissue that was both covering and in the wound. This took serial sharp debridement and compounds/dressings designed for this purpose. We decided to treat this as a venom injection due to the wound having similarities to a Brown Recluse spider bite. After addressing the inflammatory response that accompanies this type of injury and removing all the bad tissue the wound started to slowly improve. We reinforced to the patient that the key to healing this type of wound is consistent quality wound care which he and his family were doing daily. This along with some specialty products used at the wound The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic had this wound closed by early November.

This is an 84 year old female who had a large pressure ulcer on her left heel for five months prior to being referred to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic. She had been seen by other providers including surgery and wound clinics with little improvement. Our primary focus initially was preventing further injury and cleaning the wound up. This consisted of proper cleaning and dressing choice, debridement and off-loading the heel. Proper antimicrobial coverage both topically and by mouth was also ordered. With this the wound slowly improved. By August we began focusing on closure of the wound. Along with the treatments listed above we began specialty dressings. As with all chronic wounds we also addressed her nutrition issues. These steps along with the assistance of her awesome home health led to a steady improvement in the wounds. By the end of October the wound was closed and she was able to be discharged from our clinic in November.
Just a reminder that at The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic we recognize that not all wounds are the same. You cannot go by a certain algorithm to treat every wound. There are too many differing variables with each patient.

This patient presented to a local ER on 3/30/25. She had undergone an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) out of state about 2 weeks prior. At presentation to the ER she had large dehiscence of her wound and it was severely infected. She underwent 2 surgical “clean outs” of the wound on 4/1/25 and 4/4/25. After a brief hospital stay, she was referred to Wound Ostomy Care Clinic. Our major obstacle was keeping her Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (wound vac) in place. This along with frequent debridement and other wound care modalities allowed the wound to progress. By 6/1/25 the wound vac was discontinued. After instructing the patient in her wound care, home health was decreased to once a week. By 8/14/25 the wound was closed and she was discharged.

This patient fell on 5/5/25 and had a large laceration on her right knee. She had been to the ER the night of the fall where the wound was stapled and she was placed on oral antibiotics. She had seen her P*P for follow up. We initially saw this patient on 05/14/25 after she was referred to our office for “staple removal”. She presented with a large, dehisced wound with a few staples still intact. The wound had multiple areas of tunneling with the deepest at 7.5 cm. We began by focusing on cleaning this wound which included frequent sharp debridement and irrigating it with antibiotic compound. The patient did have home health services, which helped tremendously. “And by the way, can you take a look at this smaller wound on my lower leg that I have had for 6 months and no one can get it healed”? So, we began treatment for this chronic wound as well. Around 2 weeks later we were able to remove the remaining staples in the large wound. We used some light compression to stop any further opening of the wound. Once both wounds were clean, closing these wounds became our focus. We were able to do this with appropriate dressings and frequent care. Both wounds required cauterization of hyper-granulation tissue on several occasions. By 8/12/2025 both wounds were closed, and the patient was discharged.
