Advanced Wound Care

Healing Starts Here—Specialized Care for Chronic Foot Wounds

Foot wounds can be more than just an inconvenience—they can be a serious health risk, especially for patients with diabetes, circulation problems, or neuropathy. At Premier Foot & Ankle in Venice, Florida, we specialize in Advanced Wound Care to help patients heal quickly, avoid complications, and get back to living comfortably and confidently.

Whether you’re dealing with a slow-healing sore, ulcer, or surgical wound, expert care is essential. As podiatric specialists, we offer comprehensive wound management tailored to each patient’s unique condition and risk factors. Our goal is simple: help wounds heal, prevent recurrence, and protect the overall health of your feet.

What Is Advanced Wound Care?

Advanced wound care goes beyond basic bandages and antibiotic creams. It involves a clinical, multi-step approach that combines diagnostic evaluation, specialized treatments, and ongoing management to support full and proper healing. This is especially important in the feet, where pressure, reduced circulation, and neuropathy can make wounds more difficult to treat.

Our wound care program addresses both acute and chronic wounds, with a strong emphasis on diabetic foot ulcers, post-surgical wounds, pressure sores, and traumatic injuries.

Why Wound Care Matters—Especially for Diabetics

For patients with diabetes, even a small blister or sore can become a serious issue. Loss of feeling in the feet (neuropathy) combined with poor blood flow increases the risk of infection, hospitalization, and even amputation. Early, expert wound care can significantly reduce these risks and support a healthier, more active lifestyle.

What to Expect from Our Wound Care Program

1. Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a full foot and vascular exam, including testing for nerve function, blood flow, and signs of infection. We also evaluate your footwear and walking pattern to understand any contributing pressure points.

2. Wound Debridement & Cleaning
Dead or infected tissue is carefully removed to allow healthy tissue to regenerate. We use gentle but effective techniques to create the best environment for healing.

3. Specialized Dressings & Topical Therapies
We apply advanced wound dressings designed to keep the wound moist, protected, and infection-free. Some treatments may include growth factors, silver-based dressings, or medicated gels depending on your needs.

4. Offloading & Pressure Relief
Custom orthotics, diabetic shoes, or temporary walking boots may be used to take pressure off the wound area, allowing faster and more complete healing.

5. Ongoing Monitoring & Prevention
Healing is closely monitored with regular check-ins. Once the wound is healed, we’ll provide education and preventive care strategies to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Early Treatment = Better Outcomes
