WHAT TYPE OF WOUNDS DO WE TREAT

Specialised wound care

We are a dedicated wound management clinic in Malvern focused on improving wound healing outcomes to promote rapid healing with the best functional and aesthetic results. Our team works closely with GPs, surgeons and allied health providers to ensure you receive comprehensive, evidence-based wound care.

We help manage:

  • Post surgical wounds – Wounds from surgical incisions, cuts, or punctures made in the skin during an operation

  • Slow or non-healing wounds – Wounds that fail to progress through the normal healing stages within 4 weeks. This may result from underlying issues such as poor circulation, diabetes, infection, or malnutrition

  • Infected wounds – Microorganisms invade a wound and trigger a local or systemic response in the body, hindering healing

  • Diabetic wounds – These often occur in the feet and legs due to poor circulation and nerve damage associated with diabetes

  • Pressure injuries – Developed due to prolonged pressure on the skin, often in individuals who are immobile or have limited sensation

  • Chronic Wounds or Ulcers – These may occur due to chronic venous insufficiency, leading to skin breakdown

  • Ulcers from Vasculitis – Vasculitis is inflammation of the blood vessels, which can lead to tissue damage and ulcers.

FACTORS THAT MAY HINDER WOUND HEALING

There are a number of factors that may hinder wound healing including:

Patient related factors – Conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, inflammation, vascular disease, infection, poor nutrition, smoking, age and immune suppression.

Wound related factors – Wound depth and size, infection, tissue loss, biofilm formation or the presence of foreign bodies.

Surgical factors – Length and complexity of surgery, surgical technique, or compromised tissue during the procedure.

Postoperative care quality – Wound dressing changes and hygiene factors.
