The aim of treatment of chronic wounds is to support the body’s own healing process. “Most importantly, the body should have an adequate supply of blood and oxygen,” says Dr. Philip Düppers, senior physician-in-charge of the .wound clinic and certified wound expert at the University Hospital Zurich.
Patients are advised and treated by specialists and specially trained nursing staff at the University Hospital Zürich, and benefit from their expertise across a range of disciplines. Specialists in vascular surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics, radiology, and infectious diseases collaborate closely with one another.
