Wounds we treat · St. Louis
Different wounds. Individual attention.
Explore common wound conditions and the follow-up that can help patients, families and referring teams plan the next step.
Diabetic foot ulcer care
Diabetes can affect feeling and blood flow in the feet, making a wound harder to notice and slower to heal. Assessment considers the ulcer, the surrounding foot and the care already in place.
Learn morePressure injury and bed sore care
Pressure injuries can develop when skin remains under pressure, especially when movement is limited. Care considers the wound alongside mobility, comfort and the support available at home or in a facility.
Learn moreVenous leg ulcer care
Venous leg ulcers are linked to problems returning blood through the leg veins. A wound review looks beyond the open area to swelling, surrounding skin and previous episodes of healing or reopening.
Learn moreArterial and mixed wound care
Reduced blood flow can limit a wound’s ability to heal. Some wounds involve more than one circulation problem, making careful assessment and communication with the existing medical team especially important.
Learn moreWound care after surgery
Wound follow-up after surgery should reflect the procedure and the surgeon’s instructions. Gateway reviews healing and changes since discharge while keeping ongoing care connected to the surgical team.
Learn moreCare for a reopened surgical wound
A surgical incision that separates or reopens is called a dehisced wound. The extent of the opening and the surgical team’s assessment help determine the next step in care.
Learn moreWound follow-up after a surgical infection
An infection concern after surgery needs prompt review by the surgical team. Ongoing wound follow-up considers changes at the incision and the treatment plan established by the responsible clinicians.
Learn moreSkin tear and traumatic wound care
A skin tear or injury may need further attention when skin is fragile or healing is not progressing. Assessment considers how the injury happened, the damaged area and the surrounding skin.
Learn moreWound care with lymphedema
Lymphedema causes swelling from a buildup of lymph fluid. Review considers both the open wound and the existing plan for managing swelling.
Learn moreCare for wounds that are not healing
When a wound is not progressing, a fresh assessment can help clarify what needs attention. The review brings together its history, previous treatment and the health and practical factors affecting care.
Learn moreSkin graft and donor-site aftercare
Follow-up after a skin graft includes the grafted area and, when applicable, the donor site. Care remains guided by the procedural clinician’s instructions and any changes during recovery.
Learn moreWound VAC and negative pressure therapy follow-up
Negative pressure wound therapy, often called wound VAC therapy, requires coordinated wound and device follow-up. Gateway supports assessment and communication when this therapy is part of an established treatment order.
