Wound conditions vary and include Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Venous Stasis Ulcers, Traumatic Wounds as well as Arterial Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers/”Bed-Sores”, Radiation and Surgical Wounds.  Each condition requires a tailored approach individualized to every patient.

Dr. Tutela begins his approach by identifying and treating medical conditions which may exacerbate the wound.  Next, he works with patients to improve the nutritional foundation for healing their wounds.  This includes supplementation of protein, amino-acids,  multivitamins and essential minerals.  Then he addresses the local wound environment by performing serial, weekly debridements and application of advanced topical compounds.  These constitute enzymatic ointments, collagen, cellulose and other natural products as well as include Silver based and Biologic products. These dressings are then  reinforced with optimal secondary dressings which address edema and offloading.  In specialized circumstances Hyperbaric therapy is also initiated.
