Techniques Used by the Dermatologist 

Debridement:

Wound Dressing:

Collagen dressings are available that are most typically used on chronic wounds that are recovering slowly or halted. Wound bandages aid in the protection and healing of the tissue.

Negative Pressure Wound Terapy:

The lesion is covered completely using specific dressings comprised of spongy cloth or cotton in negative pressure wound care. The skin discharges are removed by a compressor attached to the dressings by a tiny tube, which decreases the tension affected skin and increases the blood circulation to the area.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
