While smaller wounds often heal on their own with little issue, larger wounds or non-healing wounds can benefit in many ways from proper wound care. Patients who receive wound care tend to enjoy faster healing, low risk of infections, less pain, less scarring, and improved outcomes.

How It Works
If you're unsure whether your wound needs medical attention, it's best to err toward caution. We offer same-day and walk-in appointments if your wound needs immediate medical care. Seeking expert help with your wound enhances healing and reduces the chances of infection and scarring.
When you visit Baxter Medical Center for wound care near Brainerd, our first priority is assessing your pain level and providing pain relief if you need it. Your provider will examine the wound and discuss how it appeared as well as your medical history. If they feel it's necessary, they may order blood tests or obtain a tissue sample for biopsy or lab analysis.
After your wound care visit, your next steps depend on the care you required. If follow-up visits are needed, your provider will help you schedule those and explain what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wound Care
The type of wound care you receive depends on your wound. The most common wound-care treatments we use include:
- Stitches/staples: For larger wounds, stitches or staples help encourage healing with less scarring
- Medications: Oral and topical medicines enhance wound healing and can treat, or reduce your risk of, infection
- Debridement: This procedure involves removal of infected or damaged tissues so healthy new skin cells can regenerate
- Bandages/dressings: We offer specialized dressings and bandages that reduce pain and the risk of infection
- Skin grafts: More severe wounds may require a skin graft placed over it for faster, more effective healing
Wounds fail to heal for a variety of reasons. Some common reasons include:
- Lack of adequate blood flow to the area
- Infection within the wound
- Poor general nutrition
- Underlying illnesses
Your wound care provider at Baxter Medical Center will ask the right questions and examine your wound to understand the underlying causes of slow healing.
