Complex Wound Care Clinical Pathway

At CORALVITA, we understand that complex wounds require more than routine care. They demand advanced therapies, precise monitoring, and a multidisciplinary approach to prevent complications and promote healing. Our Complex Wound Care Pathway is designed for patients facing difficult wounds, infections, or skin conditions that need extended, hospital-level treatment.

Who This Pathway Is For

This pathway is ideal for patients who:

  • Have chronic, non-healing wounds such as pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, or venous stasis ulcers
  • Require post-surgical wound management, including dehiscence or graft/flap support
  • Are recovering from severe trauma or burns
  • Need advanced treatment for infected wounds, osteomyelitis, or complex skin breakdown
  • Require long-term wound management in combination with other medical conditions

What You Can Expect

Comprehensive Wound Assessment
On admission, our wound care specialists conduct a detailed evaluation to understand wound type, size, depth, and contributing factors such as nutrition or circulation. This guides a personalized plan for healing.

Advanced Treatment Options
We use state-of-the-art therapies including negative pressure wound therapy (wound vacs), debridement, antimicrobial dressings, advanced biologics, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy referrals when appropriate.

Prevention and Skin Integrity
Healing doesn’t stop with treatment — we focus on preventing new wounds by addressing pressure redistribution, mobility, moisture management, and patient positioning.

Collaborative Care Team
Our wound care nurses and specialists work side by side with physicians, dietitians, rehabilitation therapists, and infection control experts to ensure the whole patient — not just the wound — is treated.

Patient & Family Education
Families receive guidance on wound care techniques, dressing changes, nutrition for healing, and how to continue care at home or in the next care setting.

Outcomes We Aim For

  • Faster wound healing and improved skin integrity
  • Reduced risk of infection and rehospitalization
  • Better pain control and comfort for patients
  • Improved mobility, independence, and quality of life
  • Confidence for families in continuing wound care after discharge
