The Power of Biologics – Why It Works

  • Stimulates natural tissue regeneration for faster healing
  • Reduces inflammation and infection risk
  • Minimizes scarring and supports long-term skin integrity
  • Enhances quality of life by relieving pain and discomfort

Cutting-Edge Biologic Wound Care Solutions

Biologic Skin Substitutes

Promote new tissue growth

Collagen-Based Dressings

Supply essential proteins for tissue repair

Amniotic & Placental Membranes

Naturally derived coverings that accelerate recovery

Growth Factor Therapy

Speeds up cellular regeneration for wound closure

We utilize a variety of biologic products based on wound condition and patient needs. These include:

AMNIO-MAXX

Made from dual-layer amniotic tissue, absorbs quickly and delivers growth factors

DERMMAXX

Amniotic-based biologic ideal for wounds with exposed bone or tendon

HELICOLL

Collagen-based biologic for deeper or complex wounds

BIOLOGICS IN HOSPICE CARE

Empire Wound Care understands the unique needs and strict regulatory guidelines within hospice settings. To ensure full compliance and coordination:

  • A dedicated surveillance team reviews hospice patients to identify those who may benefit from biologics
  • We confirm with the hospice team that the patient is clinically stable before initiating treatment
  • All decisions go through the hospice, who remain the primary driver of care for the patient
  • We align with all CMS hospice guidelines and ensure full transparency and collaboration

Medicare Criteria for Biologic Use

According to Medicare guidelines, biologics may only be used when all of the following are met:

  • The wound is 30 days or older
  • The wound is larger than 1 centimeter
  • There is no active infection present

Biologics Are Used For:

  • Diabetic ulcers
  • Venous leg ulcers
  • There is no active infection present
  • Pressure injuries

COMMON WOUNDS WE TREAT AND OUR HEALING GOALS

Focused care for faster healing and better outcomes

At Empire Wound Care, we provide specialized treatment for a wide range of chronic and acute wounds. From pressure injuries and diabetic foot ulcers to trauma wounds and arterial ulcers, our skilled clinical team applies evidence-based care protocols to support healing and reduce complications.

Our goal is to support each patient's recovery by using advanced wound care methods, promoting faster healing, preventing infections, and improving overall comfort and quality of life.

Below is a guide that outlines the typical wounds we treat and the goals we aim to achieve with each.

PRESSURE INJURIES

Stage 1: No Debridement

Non-blanchable redness (NBR). The skin is intact or closed.

GOAL:

Implement strategies to prevent pressure ulcer progression by managing pressure, friction, moisture, and shear forces. Ensure the skin remains clean and dry.

PRESSURE INJURIES

Stage 2: Requires Mechanical Debridement; No Debridement

A partial thickness wound that breaks through the epidermis. The skin remains intact or closed.

GOAL:

Prevent the progression of pressure ulcers by managing pressure, friction, moisture, and shear forces. Promote wound healing by maintaining clean and dry skin.

PRESSURE INJURIES

Stage 3, 4, or Unstageable

Full-thickness tissue loss with slough (yellow/tan) or eschar (brown/black). The wound depth cannot be accurately assessed due to covering necrotic tissue.

GOAL:

Prevent further tissue damage by managing exudate, pressure, friction, moisture, and shear forces. Implement off-loading as appropriate and fill deep spaces as needed. Promote wound healing by keeping the skin clean and dry.

ARTERIAL ULCERS

WOUND CLASSIFICATION

Also known as ischemic ulcers, caused by inadequate blood supply to the lower extremities. Often associated with poor circulation and may develop from non-healing traumatic injuries.

GOAL:

Prevent further skin and tissue damage by protecting vulnerable areas. Support wound healing through proper wound care and nutritional supplementation. Reduce the risk of infection, encourage smoking cessation, and consider revascularization if applicable.

VENOUS STATIS ULCERS

WOUND CLASSIFICATION

Leg ulcers caused by poor circulation in the veins. Can appear anywhere on the skin but are most commonly found on the legs.

GOAL:

Prevent further skin and tissue damage by protecting vulnerable areas. Reduce edema, promote wound healing, and minimize the risk of infection. Consider revascularization if applicable.

DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS

WOUND CLASSIFICATION

Open sores or wounds that develop on the feet of individuals with diabetes. Most frequently located on the sole (plantar surface) or areas that experience repeated pressure from footwear.

GOAL:

Reduce bacterial colonization and prevent wound progression through proper off-loading while promoting healing. Ensure diabetes management under the supervision of a primary care provider (PCP).

CARCINOMA

WOUND CLASSIFICATION

No debridement is required; collagen is absent. Requires protective contact layer as needed. Managed alongside oncology and dermatology specialists. Presents as poorly defined, elevated lesions with tumor-like growth, hyperplasia, and increased pain. High risk of bacterial and fungal infection due to excessive exudate.

GOAL:

Provide comfort measures, manage exudate and prevent secondary infection healing by keeping the skin clean and dry.

TRAUMATIC

WOUND CLASSIFICATION

Typically acute wounds, but can remain chronic for patients with comorbidities or impaired healing processes.

GOAL:

Promote healing while preventing infection.
