Wound Healing & Limb Preservation

At the Torrance Memorial Wound Healing and Limb Preservation Center, we’ve made healing wounds and saving limbs our mission and goal.

Our team of vascular surgeons, endovascular specialists, podiatrists and other medical professionals will work with your physician to create a treatment plan that’s right for you. Our unique and effective approach could be the key to improving your quality of life and saving your limb.

Comprehensive, Patient-Focused Care

If you or a loved one has a wound or sore that has not healed in 30 days, you may have what is referred to as a "chronic, non-healing" wound. Often complicated by underlying conditions such as diabetes, circulation problems or previous radiation treatment, the simplest of wounds can turn into a significant problem because the body's normal healing process is affected. Other types of chronic wounds result from pressure, trauma or infection.

We specialize in the treatment of all chronic, non-healing wounds including:

  • Diabetic foot ulcer
  • Diabetic foot infections
  • Neuropathy
  • Peripheral Artery Disease
  • Charcot Foot
  • Venous ulcers
  • Pressure sores
  • Non-healing, surgical wounds
  • Arterial/ischemic ulcers
  • Post-radiation ulcers
  • Traumatic wounds
  • Infected wounds
  • Crush injuries
  • Compromised flaps or grafts
  • Burns
  • Scar/Burn Reconstruction
