Amputation Prevention

Amputation prevention

For patients living with diabetes or severe lower extremity wounds, early intervention can make all the difference. 

At Saint Agnes Wound Care, our goal is clear: preserve limb function whenever possible. Through aggressive wound management, infection control and coordinated specialty care, we work to stop complications before they lead to amputation.

Why getting care early matters

Untreated wounds, especially those in patients with diabetes, can worsen quickly due to poor circulation, nerve damage and infection.

Some early warning signs can include:

  • A wound that is not healing overtime, on its own
  • Increased redness or swelling
  • Drainage or color
  • Skin discoloration
  • Pain or numbness in the foot

Seeking care early improves outcomes and expands treatment options available.

Our approach to amputation prevention

Patients referred for care through Saint Agnes Wound Care receive:

  • A comprehensive evaluation
  • Diagnostic testing when needed
  • Advanced wound treatments
  • Coordinated care with their primary care provider and specialists

Our team is focused not just on healing wounds but on protecting mobility, independence and quality of life.
