Specialized Care for Every Type of Wound
At Harbor Wound Care, we provide expert treatment for a wide range of chronic and acute wounds.
Common Wounds We Treat
PRESSURE INJURY: STAGE 1
Red, intact skin that does not lighten when pressed.
How We Treat It:
Relieve pressure, protect skin with supportive dressings, and keep area clean, dry, and moisturized to prevent progression.
PRESSURE INJURY: STAGE 2
Shallow wound or blister involving the top layers of the skin
How We Treat It:
Gentle cleansing, moisture-supportive dressing, and friction reduction to protect exposed tissue and encourage healing.
PRESSURE INJURY: STAGE 3
Deeper tissue involvement with drainage, slough, or a crater-like appearance
How We Treat It:
Selective debridement, advanced moisture-balanced dressings, nutrition support, and frequent evaluation for progress.
PRESSURE INJURY: STAGE 4
Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle
How We Treat It:
Aggressive debridement, advanced biologics, nutrition optimization, and comprehensive wound management strategies
ARTERIAL ULCER
Wounds caused by reduced blood flow to the legs or feet
How We Treat It:
Vascular evaluation, circulation improvement strategies, pain control, and protective dressing application.
DIABETIC FOOT ULCER
Open wounds from neuropathy and poor circulation in diabetes
How We Treat It:
Offloading shoes/devices, debridement, infection control, and moisture-balanced dressings to support healthy closure.
CARCINOMAS AND MALIGNANT WOUNDS
Ulcers related to cancerous tissue breakdown
How We Treat It:
Symptom relief, odor and drainage management, tissue protection, and oncology coordination for comfort-focused care.
TRAUMATIC WOUNDS
Injuries from accidents, surgeries, or sudden trauma
How We Treat It:
Thorough cleaning, infection prevention, debridement when needed, and dressing strategies to speed recovery.
VENOUS STASIS ULCER
Leg wounds caused by poor venous return with swelling and drainage
How We Treat It:
Compression therapy, edema reduction, infection control, and dressings that promote healing while supporting circulation.
Our Comprehensive Services
Dermatology Consults
Our dermatology consults provide specialized skin assessments to identify underlying conditions that may affect wound healing.
Our clinicians evaluate complex dermatologic concerns, from chronic irritation to infection, prone skin, ensuring each patient receives a precise and effective treatment plan.
Wound Evaluation and Management
Every wound begins with a thorough, evidence-based evaluation.
Our clinicians assess wound type, depth, circulation, and underlying factors to create a personalized treatment plan that accelerates healing and prevents complications.
Wound Culture
Our wound culture service ensures early detection and targeted treatment of infection.
Harbor Wound Care's clinicians collect and analyze cultures with clinical precision, helping identify the right antimicrobial approach for faster, safer recovery.
1
ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION
Clinicians identify signs of infection and collect a precise wound sample using aseptic technique.
2
LAB ANALYSIS
The specimen is processed through our partner lab to determine the specific bacteria and effective treatment options.

TARGETED CARE PLAN
Results are typically available within 3–5 business days, and clinicians will provide timely updates on any changes to the plan of care.
Our Comprehensive Services
Conservative Sharps Debridement and Dressing Applications
Harbor Wound Care provides skilled Conservative Sharps Debridement to safely remove non-viable tissue and keep healing moving forward. Our trained clinicians perform this precise bedside technique to reduce infection risk, improve wound cleanliness, and support faster recovery.
Non-Contact Low-Frequency Ultrasound Therapy (NLFU)
We utilize Non-Contact Low-Frequency Ultrasound (NLFU) Therapy to accelerate wound healing and improve patient comfort. This advanced treatment can be delivered twice per week, reducing visit demands and care costs while maintaining strong healing progress.
How Harbor Uses It
- Ideal for wounds not improving after weeks of standard care
- Breaks down debris and stubborn biofilm without touching the skin
- Stimulates healthy tissue growth and improves
- Especially beneficial for patients with pain or sensitivity
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
At Harbor Wound Care, we utilize ABI screening to detect poor circulation early, our clinicians can tailor treatment plans, collaborate with vascular specialists when needed, and support safer, more effective healing outcomes.
How Harbor Uses It
- Ensures there is enough blood flow for a wound to heal properly
- Guides whether compression, sharp debridement, and biologic therapy are appropriate
- Prevents delayed healing or further tissue damage
Usual Wound Types Evaluated
Any lower-leg wound with delayed healing and wounds in patients with diabetes or vascular disease.
Vascular Doppler Services
Harbor Wound Care performs Doppler testing to check blood flow and identify circulation issues early. This helps us tailor safe, effective treatment plans that support faster healing and reduce complications.
How Harbor Uses It
Assessment of Circulation
We use vascular assessments to identify reduced blood flow early, ensuring wounds receive the support they need to heal efficiently.
Accurate Diagnosis
Our team detects underlying vascular issues, such as peripheral artery disease, allowing us to create the right plan from the very start.
Treatment Planning
We tailor every care strategy based on each patient's vascular status, selecting the most effective therapies to drive healing forward
Ongoing Monitoring
Harbor clinicians closely track circulation and wound progress, helping prevent complications and keeping recovery on the right pat
Usual Wound Types Evaluated
Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Arterial Ulcers, Venous Leg Ulcers, Pressure Injuries, Traumatic Wounds, Mixed-Etiology Ulcers
Advanced Biologic Wound Care
Biologic wound therapy uses natural materials such as amniotic tissue and collagen to support the body's healing process.

Amniotic-Based Biologics
Amniotic-based therapy accelerates healing by delivering natural growth factors and proteins directly into the wound bed. These biologic components are rapidly absorbed, often within hours, helping reduce inflammation and stimulate faster tissue regeneration.
Decreases inflammation, promoting faster and more efficient recovery
Reduces scarring while providing a protective barrier against infection
Stimulates cellular activity to accelerate tissue regeneration and repair
Stimulates cellular activity to accelerate tissue regeneration and repair
Collagen-Based Biologics
Collagen-based therapy supports healing by providing a strong framework for new tissue growth. It reinforces the wound bed and helps restore skin integrity. This therapy is ideal for deep wounds with exposed bone or tendons that need added stability during recovery.
Provides a natural scaffold for new cell growth and tissue formation
Strengthens the wound bed and supports durable healing
Maintains ideal moisture balance to promote cell activity
Reduces risk of delayed healing or wound recurrence
SANTYL Ointment
Making Advanced Care More Accessible
Harbor Wound Care proudly partners with Smith+Nephew to make Santyl available for patients who benefit from advanced wound healing solutions.
While Santyl is often considered a premium and costly therapy, we work to ensure it remains accessible and patient-focused, helping achieve better outcomes and uplift the quality of care.
- We help reduce cost barriers so patients can receive SANTYL when it's the right treatment.
- Quality wound care should be within reach for every patient.
How It Works
SANTYL works by targeting and breaking down dead tissue at both microscopic and macroscopic levels, clearing wounds naturally and effectively.
- Acts on seven specific collagen sites to remove necrotic tissue
- Acts on seven specific collagen sites to remove necrotic tissue
- Encourages the formation of healthy granulation tissue and microvascular networks
Indications & Safety
SANTYL Ointment is a prescription-only medication indicated for the debridement of chronic dermal ulcers and severely burned areas.
Clinical Evidence
Santyl removes dead tissue that slows healing, allowing healthier skin to grow. Studies show a 62% reduction in wound size, compared to 40% with silver-based products.
