Preventing Wound Recurrence Through Proper Care

Healing a wound is just the first step. Without proper care, many patients experience recurring wounds, especially those with chronic conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, or immobility. At Healing Hands Wound Care Center, we focus on not only treating wounds but also preventing them from coming back.

Why Wound Recurrence Happens

Many factors can contribute to wounds reopening or new wounds forming, including:

Poor circulation – Limits the body’s ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients for healing
Unmanaged diabetes – High blood sugar levels slow healing and increase infection risk
Pressure on certain areas – Patients who are bedridden or in wheelchairs are prone to pressure ulcers
Lack of wound care education – Not knowing how to care for a healed wound can lead to reinjury

How to Prevent Wound Recurrence

Our mobile wound care service emphasizes education and prevention, ensuring patients and caregivers know how to reduce the risk of recurring wounds. Key strategies include:

Proper wound dressing and skin care – Keeping skin healthy to prevent breakdown
Managing chronic conditions – Controlling diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions that affect healing
Using pressure relief techniques – Rotating positions, using cushioning, and maintaining movement when possible
Nutritional support – Eating a diet rich in vitamins and proteins to strengthen tissue repair
