Frequently Asked Questions about Hawaii Advanced Wound Care
What types of wounds, including chronic wounds, does Hawaii Advanced Wound Care treat?
We specialize in managing complex and non-healing wounds including diabetic wounds, pressure ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, burns, and post-surgical wounds. In patients with diabetes, these wounds often occur on the feet as a combination of circulation, pressure, and sensation problems. Neuropathic ulcers commonly develop on pressure points of the feet. Venous stasis ulcers form when poor blood flow allows blood to pool in the lower legs. Burns may result from thermal, chemical, or radiation contact.
How does mobile wound care benefit patients in Hawaii?
Our mobile wound care services provide hospital-level treatment directly at your home or facility as home based care, eliminating travel stress and improving access to high-quality care; this approach can achieve wound resolution rates of 80–95%, especially for those with limited mobility or living on neighbor islands. Specialized in-home care can also reduce hospital readmissions by 40%, supported by patient resources and home healing tools. For some residents, access may otherwise depend on a regional medical center for chronic wound management through a dedicated program.
What advanced treatments for diabetic wounds does Hawaii Advanced Wound Care offer?
We provide advanced therapies such as specialized debridement, biologic dressings including skin grafts that support the body’s healing process, topical antibiotic treatments, and telehealth follow-ups to ensure continuity of care and effective treatment, and advanced diabetic wound treatment starts with wound assessment. Assessment includes evaluating size, depth, and tissue damage. This assessment is essential for creating the right healing environment, determines the cleaning and dressing protocols, helps shape the treatment plan, and lets us monitor the wound’s response over time.
Is Hawaii Advanced Wound Care covered by Medicare?
Yes, our services are covered by Medicare, making it easier for adults and seniors to access vital in-home wound care services without added financial burden.
How can I schedule a mobile wound care visit?
You can contact us directly via phone or email to schedule a visit. Our team will coordinate care tailored to your wound's severity, location, and your overall health to promote optimal healing.
What makes Hawaii Advanced Wound Care different from other providers?
We are the only mobile wound care clinic in Hawaii offering hospital-level, evidence-based wound care services across the islands, focusing on personalized care, advanced tissue repair techniques, and patient education to support healing progress. That personalized support may include a structured wound care program tailored to the patient’s needs, supported by answers to common mobile wound care FAQs. We also take the lead on early intervention, because prompt action can improve outcomes and help prevent complications.
How does wound care in Hawaii address unique environmental factors?
Our providers understand the impact of Hawaii's climate, including high humidity and marine exposure, which can affect wound healing, access to essential wound care supplies, and infection risk. We tailor treatments to mitigate these risks and promote effective healing.
What should I do if my wound shows signs of infection or delayed healing?
Contact Hawaii Advanced Wound Care immediately. Signs such as increased redness, pus, swelling, or delayed healing in pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, require prompt evaluation to prevent complications and ensure proper infection control. For minor abrasions, apply an antiseptic wash to neutralize bacteria before evaluation when appropriate. If prior wound treatment has been completed, mention it during follow-up. Poor nutrition can delay healing and should be addressed during follow-up.
