Personalized Care for Every Stage of Healing
A wound affects more than the skin. Healing can be influenced by circulation, nutrition, mobility, chronic conditions, medications, infection risk, and the support available in the patient’s daily environment.
Altix Medical brings comprehensive wound care directly to patients in their homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and other residential settings. Our experienced providers look at the whole person, identify barriers to healing, and create an individualized plan based on each patient’s clinical needs.
MORE THAN WOUND TREATMENT
A Whole-Person Approach to Healing
Successful wound care begins with understanding why a wound developed and what may be preventing it from healing.
Our providers assess the wound alongside the patient’s overall health, mobility, nutrition, circulation, medications, and living environment. We then coordinate the treatments, testing, equipment, and support needed to move care forward.
Our goal is not simply to perform a procedure. It is to help create the best possible environment for healing while keeping patients, caregivers, and facility teams informed throughout the process.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Our providers care for a wide range of acute and chronic wounds, including:
• Pressure injuries
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Venous leg ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Non-healing surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Skin tears
• Neuropathic wounds
• Moisture-associated skin damage
• Complex and slow-healing wounds
Every patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most appropriate next steps.
OUR WOUND CARE SERVICES

Not every wound requires an advanced procedure. Our providers begin with the patient’s needs and recommend each service based on clinical findings and the stage of healing.
WOUND-SMART DIAGNOSTICS
Looking Beneath the Surface
When a wound is not progressing as expected, there may be an underlying barrier that needs to be addressed.
Altix Medical can coordinate targeted testing to help evaluate:
• Infection and microbial burden
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Blood glucose control
• Inflammation
• Circulation and vascular concerns
• Other metabolic or medical factors affecting healing
When appropriate, specialized wound testing may help identify organisms and guide more targeted treatment. Results may also support coordination with a pharmacy for a customized topical preparation based on the patient’s specific findings.
By gathering better information, we help the care team make more informed decisions and avoid relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
DEBRIDEMENT AND ADVANCED TREATMENT OPTIONS
Removing unhealthy tissue can be an important part of preparing a wound to heal. When clinically appropriate, qualified Altix Medical providers perform debridement based on the wound’s condition and the patient’s comfort and medical needs.
Additional treatment options may include:
• Specialized wound dressings
• Collagen therapies
• Negative pressure wound therapy
• Low-frequency ultrasonic wound therapy
• Customized topical therapies
• Cellular and tissue-based products, including allografts
The Right Treatment at the Right Time
Advanced modalities are considered only when clinically appropriate and supported by medical necessity. They are one part of a broader care plan—not the starting point or goal for every patient.
COORDINATED WOUND AND PRIMARY CARE
Treating the Factors That Influence Healing
Many patients with chronic wounds are also managing diabetes, vascular disease, neuropathy, poor nutrition, limited mobility, or other health conditions.
Because Altix Medical offers both comprehensive wound care and mobile primary care, our team can help address the broader medical factors affecting recovery.
Coordinated support may include:
• Diabetes and blood glucose management
• Medication review
• Nutritional evaluation
• Laboratory testing
• Vascular studies and specialty referrals
• Mobility and fall-risk assessment
• Pressure-relieving equipment
• Chronic condition management
• Communication with families and other providers
This connected approach helps keep the wound plan aligned with the patient’s overall health needs.
CLEAR, ACTIONABLE CARE PLANS
Making Follow-Through Easier
Every patient receives specific recommendations based on the provider’s findings. We communicate clearly with patients, caregivers, nursing teams, home health agencies, and other authorized members of the care team.
Our approach may include:
• Clear wound care orders
• Dressing and treatment instructions
• Recommended frequency of care
• Pressure-relief and offloading guidance
• Nutrition and hydration recommendations
• Signs that require clinical escalation
• Diagnostic and specialty referrals
• Ongoing progress assessments
Clear communication helps everyone understand the plan and their role in supporting the patient’s recovery.
PARTNERSHIP WITH FACILITIES AND HOME HEALTH
Supporting the Team Already in Place
Altix Medical works alongside skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, assisted living communities, rehabilitation centers, and home health agencies.
Our providers integrate into the patient’s existing care team through:
• On-site wound evaluations and treatment
• Timely recommendations and care orders
• Communication with nursing staff and caregivers
• Documentation support
• Clinical escalation guidance
• Wound care education and staff training opportunities
• Progress tracking and coordinated follow-up
• Continued care after discharge when appropriate and available
We are here to strengthen your team—not replace it.
CONTINUITY AFTER DISCHARGE
Helping Patients Remain Connected to Care
Transitions from a hospital or facility back home can create gaps in wound care. Supplies may change, follow-up appointments may be delayed, and caregivers may be unsure how to continue the treatment plan.
When appropriate and available in the patient’s area, Altix Medical can continue following the patient after discharge. We help reinforce wound care instructions, coordinate needed services, monitor progress, and communicate with family members and other healthcare professionals.
Our goal is to create a smoother transition and help concerns receive attention before they become more serious.
