About Carle BroMenn Medical Center
Most wounds heal on their own within two to four weeks. However, sometimes they take longer to heal due to blood-flow problems, infection, poor nutrition or an underlying health condition. These wounds may require specialty care.

Carle wound therapy experts include physicians, infectious disease specialists, a podiatrist and certified wound-care nurses.

  • Patient Education - Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
    Negative Pressure Wound TherapyA healthcare professional applies a foam bandage over an open wound, and a vacuum pump creates negative pressure around the wound.
