What Is Mobile Wound Care?

Mobile wound care means a specialized wound care provider travels to your home or facility

with the same level of expertise and advanced dressings you would expect from a hospital-

based wound center[1][3]. Instead of you going to the wound clinic, the wound clinic comes to

your bedside.

During a typical visit, your provider will:

• Examine and measure your wound

• Check circulation and overall skin health

• Look for early signs of infection

• Clean and, when needed, debride the wound (remove dead tissue)

• Apply advanced dressings designed to help your wound heal faster

• Teach you and your caregiver how to protect the area between visits[2][3][4]

This model is especially powerful for patients with diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers,

pressure injuries (bedsores), and other chronic wounds that require consistent, specialized

care[1][3][4].
