Wound Care FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes non-healing wounds?

Many factors cause chronic, non-healing wounds such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Poor circulation
  • Trauma or injury
  • Vascular disease
  • Limited mobility, leading to pressure ulcers (bed sores)

People with diabetes are at a particularly high risk for wounds that don’t heal. While chronic wounds are common, help is available. At Central Carolina Hospital, we use advanced therapies to promote healing and treat the underlying causes, such as inadequate nutrition, inactivity, poor hygiene and ill-fitting shoes. These approaches help treat and eliminate wound recurrence.

Does insurance cover treatment?

Many health plans cover wound care treatments. We can help you determine what your specific plan covers.

How do I prepare for treatment?

After the first exam at the center, you'll receive complete instructions regarding your treatment.  

Tobacco use is harmful to blood vessels and affects blood flow. It can prolong and even prevent wound healing. So, you should avoid smoking or using any tobacco products during the entire course of therapy.

Hyperbaric Services

Oxygen is essential for wound healing. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a patient is given 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment in sessions, or dives, that can last 90 minutes to two hours. The combination increases the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream, enhancing your ability to rebuild tissue, fight infection and promote healing.

Up to 18% of wound care patients use HBOT treatments to boost wound healing. Physicians specializing in hyperbaric medicine oversee sessions with the assistance of clinically trained hyperbaric technicians. You must be evaluated by a provider first to qualify for this treatment. We provide HBOT services for conditions approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and Medicare/Medicaid.

Hyperbaric medicine may help if you suffer from one of these indications:

  • Crush injury
  • Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
  • Diabetic foot ulcer
  • Osteomyelitis (refractory)
  • Skin graft in danger of failing
  • Sudden-onset hearing loss

HBOT sessions take place in a comfortable room with clear sides so you can see your surroundings and a TV for your enjoyment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a safe treatment, and we follow stringent safety protocols aligned with the UHMS, clinical practice guidelines, and industry best practices. We ensure every patient receives detailed information before their initial treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Wound Treatment?

  • Faster healing times
  • Less pain at wound site
  • Fewer complications, reducing the need for future hospitalization
  • Reduced risk of related medical problems, such as limb loss
  • Renewed patient confidence and increased quality of life
