Diabetic wounds, particularly foot ulcers, are a common and serious complication of diabetes. These wounds are often caused by a combination of poor circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and a weakened immune system, which makes it difficult for the body to heal itself. In Brooklyn, Dr. Oleg Karpenko provides Advanced Diabetic Wound Care Brooklyn to help manage and treat these challenging conditions.
Advanced diabetic wound care involves using specialized techniques and treatments to promote healing and prevent complications like infections or amputations. Dr. Karpenko’s approach focuses on addressing the root causes of diabetic wounds and using the latest technologies and treatments to accelerate recovery.
Comprehensive Assessment: Dr. Karpenko begins with a thorough evaluation of the wound and overall health. This includes checking circulation, blood sugar levels, and signs of infection.
Wound Debridement: Dead tissue is removed from the wound to facilitate healing and reduce infection risk. This process is essential in promoting healthy tissue growth.
Advanced Dressings and Therapies: Dr. Karpenko uses advanced wound dressings, such as hydrocolloids and silver-based treatments, to maintain the ideal moisture balance and protect against infection.
Infection Control: Managing infection is critical. Dr. Karpenko may prescribe antibiotics and use topical treatments to control bacteria and accelerate healing.
Offloading Pressure: For wounds on the feet, special footwear or orthotics may be used to relieve pressure and allow the wound to heal properly.
