A minor cut or scratch poses little problem for most of us. But for some five million Americans who do not have the ability to heal properly because of poor blood circulation from diabetes, peripheral vascular disease or problems with their veins, a simple sore or cut can result in serious infections, gangrene or even amputation.

The focus at the Swedish Edmonds Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbarics is on preserving limbs and healing difficult wounds through a comprehensive, team approach.

The center helps heal chronic wounds faster by treating the cause of the wound and applying evidence-based medical and surgical techniques that are outcome-focused and cost-effective.

We use the latest approved devices and dressings to promote healing and teach patients and family or caregivers how to care for wounds at home to further improve faster and more permanent healing.
