Teams are comprised of nurses specially trained to provide complicated wound care. Many of our nurses are trained in the use of Wound Vacuum Assisted Closure (V.A.C ®) devices, and several hold certifications in wound care management. (Note: Our offices in San Antonio, Texas; Reston, Virginia and Houma, Louisiana are certified KCI V.A.C.® providers.) |

“I had a very bad venous wound on my leg. Before THE MEDICAL TEAM got involved my daughter would change my gauze and apply anti-bacterial solution but the wound didn’t get any better for months. I became fed-up and anxious. My daughter took me to the doctor who told me he could have a nurse sent to my house to care for the wound. The next day a MEDICAL TEAM nurse came and tried a new technique to heal wounds. After only a month and a half I couldn’t believe it! My stubborn leg was saved and my wound completely healed. I want to thank my nurse for caring about me and getting rid of such a pain in the leg.”
