Conditions Treated
Burn Wound Care
Certain burns benefit from ongoing wound management, infection monitoring, and a clear plan for escalation if depth or severity requires a higher level of care.
Understanding burn severity
Burns range widely in depth and severity. Some are well suited to outpatient or mobile wound care, while more severe or extensive burns require referral to a specialized burn center.
How PWS approaches burn wounds
For appropriate cases, care includes wound cleansing, dressing management tailored to burn depth, infection monitoring, pain-aware dressing changes, and coordination with a burn specialist or hospital when needed.
What to watch for
Large or deep burns, burns to the face, hands, joints, or genitals, chemical or electrical burns, and any burn with signs of infection should be evaluated urgently.
