BWH Wound Care Center

The Brigham and Women’s Hospital Wound Care Center (WCC) provides multidisciplinary diagnosis, treatment, education and support to foster wound healing for thousands of patients each year.

The Center’s team - featuring specialists in plastic surgery, vascular surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, diabetes, infectious disease, nutrition, pain management, and podiatry – provides expert, compassionate and comprehensive care for the full spectrum of typical and atypical wounds. We regularly treat patients, surgically and non-surgically, with wounds resulting from diabetes, atherosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, radiation, venous stasis, trauma, surgery, burns and many other conditions that lead to difficult wound healing. These diverse multidisciplinary capabilities are enhanced by our access to state-of-the-art wound care technology.

Our research also is instrumental to providing the most advanced wound care possible for our patients. This includes ongoing clinical research – research involving the participation of our patients – conducted at the Center, as well as fundamental research provided by individual labs, including Center Medical Director Dr. Dennis Orgill’s Tissue Engineering and Wound Healing lab, Dr. Elof Eriksson’s Tissue Repair and Gene Therapy lab and Dr. C. Keith Ozaki’s Adaptations of Vein Bypass Graft lab.
