Traumatic Wound Treatment
Traumatic wounds are injuries caused by external force or accidents that break the skin and damage underlying tissue. These wounds can range from minor abrasions to deep lacerations and punctures, often accompanied by bleeding, swelling, or bruising. At Restore Mobile Wound Care, we specialize in managing both acute and complex traumatic wounds with evidence-based practices, on-site convenience, and personalized attention across Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and neighboring areas.
​
Our goal is to support rapid recovery while minimizing the risk of infection, scarring, or long-term complications. Whether the injury occurred due to a fall, burn, accident, or blunt trauma, our team provides timely intervention and consistent follow-up to support healing at every stage.
Types of Traumatic Wounds We Treat
-
Lacerations – Tears or cuts in the skin caused by sharp objects
-
Abrasions – Surface wounds caused by friction against rough surfaces
-
Punctures – Deep, narrow wounds from pointed objects like nails or glass
-
Avulsions – Tissue forcibly separated or torn away from its normal position
-
Contusions – Closed wounds that involve bleeding under the skin (bruises)
-
Burns – Thermal or chemical injuries that may break the skin or cause tissue loss
​
Each wound presents differently based on its location, depth, and the mechanism of injury. Immediate assessment is essential to prevent complications and guide the right course of care.
Detailed Assessment
When treating traumatic wounds, we begin with a structured clinical evaluation that includes:
​
-
Visual inspection of wound depth, width, and tissue involvement
-
Assessment of bleeding, drainage, and signs of infection
-
Review of tetanus immunization history
-
Evaluation of sensation, circulation, and mobility around the injury
-
Identification of any retained foreign bodies using clinical imaging if needed
-
Discussion of the patient’s medical history including diabetes or vascular disease, which can delay healing
​
This initial assessment allows us to identify any underlying concerns and begin prompt, appropriate treatment.
