Post-Surgical or Non-Healing Chronic Wound Care & Treatment

Hope and Healing for Chronic Wounds

Non-healing, post-surgical or chronic wounds require care and treatment and may not only affect your ability to enjoy an active life, they can lead to potentially serious, life-threatening conditions such as gangrene and bacterial infections of the bone and marrow (osteomyelitis). The Wound Center at South Miami Heart Center provides comprehensive outpatient treatment services dedicated to healing difficult wounds.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Healing

At the Wound Center, we understand that every patient is a unique individual and that no two wounds are alike. There are many paths to healing—that’s why we take a multidisciplinary approach to chronic wound care.
