Call or email Gateway Wound Care with where the patient is, what kind of wound it is, and who is coordinating care. We can talk through the next step.

Conditions

Wounds we help coordinate.

Diabetic foot ulcers

Diabetic foot ulcers need more than a dressing change. They need measurements, offloading, vascular awareness, infection vigilance, glucose context, footwear communication, and quick escalation when the wound stops moving.

Pressure injuries and bed sores

Pressure injuries sit at the center of nutrition, turning schedules, support surfaces, moisture, incontinence, staffing pressure, and family worry. Gateway helps make the plan visible and repeatable.

Venous leg ulcers

Venous leg ulcers require compression, edema control, drainage management, skin protection, and consistent follow-up. The plan has to work in real life, not just on paper.

Wound VAC / NPWT wounds

NPWT support depends on seal integrity, dressing cadence, drainage monitoring, supplies, caregiver confidence, and fast escalation when the device is no longer helping.

Post-surgical wounds

Post-surgical wounds need timely follow-up, surgeon-aware communication, infection monitoring, dehiscence watch, and a clear line back to the operating team when something changes.

Skin graft and donor-site wounds

Skin graft aftercare is a narrow window: protect the graft, monitor adherence, manage drainage, watch donor sites, document change, and keep the surgeon informed.

Arterial and mixed-etiology wounds

Arterial and mixed wounds require caution, vascular awareness, tissue assessment, realistic goals, and referral discipline. Compression and debridement decisions must fit the vascular picture.

Skin tears and traumatic wounds

Skin tears and traumatic wounds can look small but destabilize quickly in older adults. Good care protects fragile skin, prevents infection, and respects the patient's mobility and dignity.
