Standing up for limb preservation.
Let's get started. We need to know a little bit about you. Please select your specialty:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a wound care center and a limb preservation center?
A wound care center treats chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers and pressure ulcers. A Limb Preservation Center places a focus on prevention and timely intervention to improve management of diabetic foot ulcers/infections and other limb-threatening conditions. In addition, our world-renowned limb preservation experts ensure that best practices are followed to avoid unnecessary major lower-limb amputations.
