This 60 year old female patient was bitten by a feral cat on 5/22/25. She self treated the wound until seen at The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic on 6/3/25. Initially her leg was red with noted necrotic tissue. We had seen her in the past for other wounds she had. She did have a history of poor wound healing, lymphedema/venous disease (she had already undergone vascular work-up/ treatment for these issues) and a history of smoking. We started IM & oral antibiotics. We also began regular debridement of the wound. There was one area of the wound that was slow to respond to treatment. The patient was also very sensitive to the debridements. Due to these two factors it was decided to send the patient for surgical evaluation. She did undergo surgical debridement and received IV antibiotics while in the hospital. She was referred back to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic upon discharge from the hospital. We continued serial debridements, dealt with comorbidities, and used advanced topicals for closure. The patient’s spouse was integral in performing care for the patient. She was discharged on 12/18/25.

This patient had a fall at home on 4/15/2025. He was seen in his local ER that night. He was instructed to follow up with his primary care provider. His wife contacted The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic on 04/21/2025 and we saw him in the clinic the next day. He was not on any blood thinners, but he described himself as a “free bleeder”. Upon examination of the wound we immediately recognized he had a very large, encapsulated hematoma. Though the wound was “closed” it’s what is going on under that ceiling that matters. We also recognized this debridement was much too large to be performed in the clinic. We contacted a local surgeon, and he had evacuation of the hematoma and debridement performed in the OR the next day. The patient was then referred back to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic for wound management. The patient had several comorbidities that slowed healing that had to be addressed. We also referred him to home health to assist with his care. Over the next several months the wound required weekly debridements. He also developed a large amount of hyper granulation tissue that required cauterization. These treatments along with other advance wound care modalities led to closure of the wound in January. At the Wound Ostomy Care Clinic we recognize when a wound/ostomy requires a higher level of care and waste no time in making sure the patient gets that care.

This is a very active 89 year old male that had a wound on his left foot for several months prior to being referred to The Wound Ostomy Care Clinic. He had failed all previous treatment. He is a diabetic and was referred to a local diabetes clinic around the same time. They quickly got his blood sugar under control which helped with his wound healing. We also had to convince him to stop mowing all of his neighbors yards for a while. Again, we focused on cleaning the wound up and then on closing the wound. This required frequent sharp debridement and specialized dressings. He also required specific antibiotic therapy once we obtained his wound culture report. Cellular tissue products led to significant improvement in the wound. Our major issue with his wound healing was getting pressure off the area (off-loading). He is dependent upon himself for all activities of daily living. This ruled out devices such as crutches, knee scooters or off-loading boots due to the risk of falls. We worked with him to find shoes and identify other steps that provided partial off-loading. After several months his wound did close and he was discharged.
Just a reminder, no matter how good the wound care you are receiving is there are certain factors that if not corrected your wound WILL NOT CLOSE. The two identified with this patient are elevated blood sugar and off-loading. If you consistently have blood sugars greater than 180mg/dl your wound will not heal. There are some wound care treatments that are not allowed if the patient’s blood sugar is not under control. Off-loading is one of the most difficult issues we must deal with. There are many ways to get weight/pressure off the wound area but not all patients can tolerate them. It often takes some time for us to identify one that works and the patient can tolerate.
