Wound Care
Wound healing can be a complex process, especially for those with underlying health conditions such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or autoimmune disorders. Our clinic is equipped to handle a wide range of wounds, from minor cuts and abrasions to more severe conditions like pressure ulcers or diabetic foot wounds.
Whether you have an emergency, a wound from your chronic condition or a post-surgical wound, our team at U.n.i Klinik is here to offer wound treatment that accelerates recovery and reduces complications.
Our Wound Treatments
Types of Wounds We Treat
Our clinic treats a wide variety of wounds, each requiring specialized care to promote healing and prevent complications. Here’s a look at some of the types of wounds we can help with:
Chronic Wounds
Chronic wounds are injuries that persist without healing for more than six weeks. The longer a wound stays open, the higher the risk of infection and other serious complications.
Ulcers
Pressure ulcers occur when constant pressure cuts off blood supply to the area, leading to tissue damage. These are common in patients with limited mobility, whether in bed or in a wheelchair for extended periods.
Abrasion Wounds
Abrasions occur when the skin is scraped or rubbed off, typically from friction against rough surfaces. These wounds are generally superficial but can be painful and prone to infection.
Laceration Wounds
Lacerations are deep cuts or tears in the skin, often caused by sharp objects or trauma. We may also prescribe antibiotics and provide follow-up care to minimize scarring.
Puncture Wounds
Puncture wounds occur when a sharp object penetrates the skin. These wounds are prone to infection because the small entry point can trap bacteria deep inside the tissue.
Burn Wounds
Burns can range from minor to severe and are categorized into first, second, or third-degree based on depth. Our burn treatment focuses on relieving pain using dressings.
Why Do I Need Wound Dressing?
Wound Dressing Methods
Debridement is when dead or infected tissue is removed from the wound site. This allows healthy cells to regenerate, prevents the spread of infection, and improves the effectiveness of other treatments such as dressings.
Infection management in wound care involves several strategies, including the use of topical antibiotics, antiseptic dressings, and oral or intravenous antibiotics for more severe cases.
Compression therapy is primarily used for wounds caused by poor circulation. This involves applying compression bandages or stockings that help to increase blood flow, reduce swelling, and promote faster healing.
When Do I Need to Visit the Doctor?
Knowing when to seek professional wound care can be crucial for proper healing and preventing complications. Any of the following situations usually requires in-depth medical attention after any initial first-aid.
- Animal bites, some more dangerous than others
- Deep cuts made from a sharp object might require stitches
- Signs of infection, especially concerning fevers and chills
- A wound has debris, dirt, or foreign objects is harder to clean
If a wound has not shown signs of healing after a week or two, or if it worsens over time, you should consult our doctors. Chronic non-healing wounds may require specialized treatment to promote healing.
Reinfected Wounds
If you noticed that your wound might be reinfected after changing bandages, you can come in to our clinic and we can address any problems. Here’s what you should watch out for:
- Increased redness, warmth, or swelling around the wound
- Pus or discharge coming from the wound
- Foul smell from the wound
- Fever or chills, indicating the infection may have spread
- The wound is not healing or seems to be getting worse
Depending on the severity of the reinfection, we may prescribe topical or oral antibiotics to treat the bacteria causing the infection. If the infection is severe, intravenous (IV) antibiotics might be necessary.

Signs of infection include increased redness, swelling, warmth around the wound, pus or other discharge, a foul odor, and fever or chills. If you experience any of these symptoms, find a doctor as soon as possible.
Not all wounds can be treated with regular band-aids. For larger or deeper wounds, specialized dressings may be needed to protect the area and promote healing.
Yes, itching can be a normal part of the healing process. However, if you notice excessive itching or rash, it may indicate an allergic reaction or infection, and you should talk to your doctor.
If your wound reopens, clean the area gently with mild soap and water, apply a clean dressing, and monitor for signs of infection. Seek medical attention if the wound is large, shows signs of infection, or if you are unsure how to manage it.
The frequency of dressing changes depends on the type of wound and the dressing used. Generally, dressings should be changed at least once a day or whenever they become wet or dirty. Follow your doctor’s specific recommendations.
To clean a wound at home, gently rinse it under lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris. Use mild soap around the area but avoid getting soap directly in the wound. Pat the area dry with a clean towel, and apply an appropriate dressing.
