- 2It is washed with sterile solution and non-healing tissue is removed.
- 3The prescribed dressing is applied and covered with a bandage.
- 4The next change is scheduled and home care is explained.
How often is the dressing changed?
It depends on the wound: those that drain a lot may need daily changes, and clean ones every 2 or 3 days. Diabetic foot ulcers are checked at least once a week. The medical team sets the frequency at the first visit.
How do I care for the wound at home?
- Wash your hands before touching the wound or the dressing
- Keep the dressing dry; if it gets wet or dirty, change it or come to the clinic
- Do not apply alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or home remedies, because they damage new tissue
- Eat enough protein and control your glucose if you have diabetes
- Avoid putting weight on a foot ulcer
What are the signs of infection?
Redness spreading more than 2 centimeters from the edge, warmth, swelling, pus or foul odor, increasing pain, fever or red streaks going up the skin. With any of these, come in the same day.
How long does a wound take to heal?
A clean, shallow wound closes in 1 to 2 weeks. Ulcers and wounds in people with diabetes or poor circulation can take 4 to 12 weeks and need constant follow-up. If there is no improvement in 4 weeks, causes such as deep infection or circulation problems are evaluated.
How does payment work?
You don't need health insurance. Pricing is self-pay, cash and cards are accepted, and you can ask for the cost of the service by phone or WhatsApp before your visit.

Wounds after surgery or drainage, diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers, minor burns, scrapes from falls or work accidents, wounds that have not closed after 2 weeks, and removal of stitches and staples.
02What happens at each wound care visit?
The old dressing comes off, the wound is examined and rinsed with sterile solution, tissue that is not healing is removed and the right dressing goes on. At the end the next change is scheduled and home care is reviewed.

It depends on the wound: heavily draining ones may need a daily change, and diabetic foot ulcers are checked at least once a week. The medical team sets the schedule at your first visit.
