Many of my patient’s wonder if their wound needs to be left open to air in order to heal. Review of medical literature shows that too dry of a wound will actually damage the new fragile skin cells and inhibit wound healing. However, too wet of a wound can also inhibit wound healing and cause possible infection. So, achieving the correct moisture balance is critical to wound healing. Wounds at risk for poor healing need expert evaluation and careful dressing selection to promote an optimal wound healing environment. As wound care experts, the team at Prairie Foot and Ankle is happy to help guide individuals with wound healing by using advanced treatments that are based in evidence and tailored to fit individual needs.

Did you know that diabetic ulcers are often painless? Since diabetic foot ulcers are often painless, special care must be given to taking care of the feet. Patients with diabetes should inspect their feet daily by using a mirror to see the bottom of their feet or by asking someone for help. Sores, cuts, and injuries do not heal as well for patients with diabetes and may need care. Contact the Mary Lanning Healthcare Wound Center for an evaluation.
