Wound Care

Moses Medical takes care of foot and ankle wounds that have stalled: diabetic ulcers, sores that keep reopening, and incisions that are not closing the way they should.

The visit measures the wound and looks closely at the skin around it: redness, warmth, swelling, drainage, odor, and the other signs of infection. The clinician checks circulation and sensation in the foot, along with the pressure the area takes each day, since your diabetes control and your footwear both affect whether a wound closes. A podiatrist does this work here in the office.

If the wound needs a deeper cleaning, that happens during the visit. Blood work for infection or blood sugar can be drawn in the office while you are here.

You leave with a dressing plan you can keep up at home, a follow-up date, and a short list of changes that mean call sooner: spreading redness, new drainage, a fever, or pain that gets worse. We walk you and whoever helps you at home through the dressing change, so nobody is guessing at it, and we write down the supplies you will need.

Bring any photos, discharge notes, or culture results you have. Book a visit for a wound that has stopped closing.
