Expert Care for Reopened Surgical Wounds

Wound dehiscence, the reopening of a surgical wound, can be a frustrating and potentially dangerous complication during recovery. Proper and timely care is essential to address the issue, minimize the risk of infection, and support effective healing. At Advanced Mobile Wound Care, we specialize in treating wound dehiscence, bringing advanced care and personalized treatment directly to your home or care facility to ensure your recovery stays on track.

How We Simplify Supply Procurement

What is Wound Dehiscence?

Wound dehiscence occurs when a surgical wound partially or completely reopens after being closed. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Infection: Infected wounds are more likely to weaken and separate.
  • Excessive Pressure or Strain: Coughing, lifting heavy objects, or physical movement can stress the wound site.
  • Poor Circulation: Conditions like diabetes or vascular issues can slow healing and contribute to reopening.
  • Improper Wound Care: Insufficient cleaning or improper dressing can hinder healing. Not all treatments are alike.

Dehiscence is more than a setback—it can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly and effectively.

Signs and Symptoms of Wound Dehiscence

Recognizing the signs of wound dehiscence early is crucial for seeking timely care. Symptoms include:

  • Increased pain or swelling at the wound site.
  • Redness, warmth, or discharge indicating possible infection.
  • Partial or full reopening of the wound.
  • Visible gaps or exposed tissue.

If you notice these symptoms, it’s essential to seek immediate wound care to prevent further complications and ensure proper healing.
