Surgical Wounds

By definition, a surgical wound is an incidental wound created as a result of a surgical procedure. Unlike other incidental wounds, surgical wounds are generally planned. In some cases, however, post-surgical wounds fail to heal, or heal extremely slowly. This can lead to infections, impaired mobility, extended pain, months of messy dressings, and intense frustration.

Depending on the type of surgery, surgical wounds may be relatively minor such as those that result from arthroscopic procedures, or severe and invasive, such as surgeries requiring comprehensive access to chest or abdominal cavities.

Some surgeries are designed to amputate the locations of severe and non-responsive wounds on lower limbs or other extremities. Other surgeries designed to prepare the site of a chronic wound for healing, such as in the case of a surgical debridement.

Proven Treatment for Surgical Wounds

The TRUHEAL Wound Program is a proven method for healing chronic surgical wounds in every care setting, including the home. The TRUHEAL Wound Program is the outcome of exhaustive research in wound care outcomes by Advanced Healing Institute.

TRUHEAL combines two breakthrough therapies with well-researched procedures to speed up the wound healing process, even when other treatments have failed. Innovative technologies include:

• TRUHEAL Electromagnetic Frequency Therapy (EMPT), a proprietary technology for directing a specific radio frequency signal to stimulate the proliferation of human fibroblast cells in chronic wounds.
• TRUHEAL Catalytic Nanosilver™ Solution, a revolutionary drug-free silver spray with a composition and method of action that makes it different than any other silver-based product.

Within the Advanced Healing Institute TRUHEAL Wound Care Program Guidelines, surgical debridement is not considered a standard of care except in the most extreme cases.
