Complex and nonhealing wounds are not only painful – they can be extremely dangerous. Whether a wound is the result of a traumatic injury, an infection, a disease, or another condition, it requires timely and effective care, particularly when amputation is a possibility.
Our team is actively engaged in discoveries to expand effective treatment solutions and provide the best possible care to all patients. Many of the latest options to heal wounds are available only at Volnero Health.
We use the newest technologies and therapies available – some of which were evaluated and introduced by our very own nurse – to heal wounds, salvage limbs, improve function, and reduce scarring.

Symptoms of Nonhealing Wounds
Patients should contact us if they have a wound that:
Has not healed or is healing very slowly
Continues to bleed, seep, or drain
Is infected, or the area around it is red, warm, swollen, or painful
Advanced Treatments for All Types of Wounds
We first pinpoint the reasons a wound is not healing. We then create an optimized treatment plan based on the overall health care needs of each patient.
We provide the full spectrum of care and support for every patient using a comprehensive range of interventions and tests, such as:
Specialized dressings and therapies, such as gels, collagen, foams, growth factors, and other materials that promote wound healing
An Innovative Approach to Preventing Amputations
For complex wounds, our team integrates a variety of therapies into a well-balanced treatment program. We make every effort to avoid amputations by exploring solutions to save a leg, foot, finger, or other extremity – even when patients have been told elsewhere that amputation is the only option.
In addition to the treatment mentioned above, our patients also have access to:
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)
Specialty support surfaces
