Treatment for Chronic Wounds in Central Minnesota

Coping with chronic, non-healing wounds can be both frustrating and time-consuming, but help is available.

  • Diabetic ulcers
  • Venous ulcers

CentraCare Wound Centers treat each patient individually. Treatment options include:

  • Chronic wound evaluations
  • Debridement of unhealthy tissue
  • Diabetic foot ulceration care
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Offered at St. Cloud & Monticello Wound Centers)
  • Lower extremity compression therapy
  • Negative pressure (VAC) therapy
  • Treatment of pressure injuries

To help in your healing, those who meet criteria may be referred for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a simple but effective treatment in which you breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The chamber has clear sides through which you can see your surroundings. It is in a comfortable treatment room equipped with television and videos.

The therapy quickly and safely delivers high concentrations of oxygen to your bloodstream, which helps increase your body’s own natural wound-healing abilities.

As A New Patient

Upon referral, you will have an examination to identify the type of wound you have and its underlying causes. Once completed, a program specifically tailored to your needs will be started based on the most effective treatment options.
