David L. Smythe Wound Center Offers Comprehensive Care for Non-Healing Wounds

For most people, wound healing is a natural, uneventful process. But for some, it becomes a complex medical problem requiring specialized treatment and care.

Since 2003, the David L. Smythe Wound Center at Martin Memorial has provided a multidisciplinary program of treatment and support for the management of acute and chronic wounds. Since problem wounds are often associated with underlying medical conditions, our program is designed to integrate wound care with ongoing health care.

If you are one of the more than five million Americans suffering from a non-healing wound, we may be able to help. Our specialists work together to provide individualized treatment and decrease the cost and time of your recovery. If you are suffering with any of the following, you may be a candidate for wound care:

• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Chronic venous ulcers (leg ulcers)
• Pressure ulcers bed sores)
• Chronic osteomyelitis (bone infection)
• Radiation-related tissue damage
• Any ulcer/wound that persists for more than six weeks despite care

At the David L. Smythe Wound Center at Martin Memorial, we have specially trained physicians, nurses and clinical staff who are experts in diagnosing and managing wounds.

We have won national awards for our program’s quality outcomes, in part because we take the proper steps to ensure patients receive the best treatment results possible.
