Wound Services
Wounds can be painful and uncomfortable. With proper care, the majority of wounds heal on their own without complications. Sometimes wounds may require extra care and medical attention.
Chronic, non-healing wounds are those that do not heal within six to eight weeks. Such wounds are not only painful; they can lead to serious complications, including infection, illness and even amputation.
Our team of specialists at UCI Health Wound Services can help treat all types of wounds, including wounds as the result of a burn or surgery.
We work with you to develop a treatment plan that restores your comfort, function and quality of life.
