St. Joseph Mercy
Oakland
Since its opening in 2012, St. Joseph Mercy
Oakland's (SJMO) Center for Wound Care and
Hyperbaric Medicine has improved the quality
of life for hundreds of patients with non-
healing wounds.
And it has added more services and products
is
to encourage healing, such as artificial skin substitutes and total contact casting for diabetic
foot ulcers.
Located in the Alice Gustafson Center on campus, the state-of-the-
art facility treats patients with chronic wounds using advanced equipment,
including two hyperbaric chambers, making St. Joe's wound care center one of
the most convenient, comprehensive and sophisticated wound treatment facilities in
Southeastern Michigan.
We opened the Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine to provide our patients
with the safest, highest quality and comprehensive care possible in the area of wound
treatment. With state-of-the-art, specialized, technologically advanced and evidence-
based therapies utilizing the latest techniques and procedures, SJMO can restore a
patient's quality of life by reducing healing time and fostering full recovery
We are privileged to have Firas Karmo,
MD, plastic surgeon from the SJMO Medical
Staff, as medical director of the facility, which
employs physicians specialty-trained in wound
management and hyperbaric medicine, certified
or specialty-trained wound care nurses and highly
trained clinical hyperbaric managers and staff.
The center takes a whole body approach to wound healing, including
• Nutritional assessment and counseling
• Diabetic education
• Patient and caregiver counseling
• Referrals for special needs pressure relief, including beds, seat cushions and footwear.
Among the conditions treated at the center are:
• Diabetic wounds
• Any non-healing wound
• Surgical wounds that have opened
• Skin grafts or surgical flaps that are not healing post-surgery
• Open wounds caused by radiation therapy
• Bond infections
• Pressure ulcers
• Venous wounds
• Internal injuries where no open wound exists, such as select acute traumatic and crush
injuries, radiation cystitis or proctitis and reconstruction of the jaw or bone.
The hyperbaric chambers provide a more advanced treatment option for those who
qualify. Hyperbaric treatments work in combination with traditional wound care treatments.
Oftentimes, the hyperbaric treatment is the only one available for a particular condition.
Ask your physician for a referral if your condition can benefit from our Center for Wound
Care and Hyperbaric Medicine. If you have a wound that won't heal,
call the Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine
at 248-858-2606.
