Expert Wound Care

Coler has one of the lowest rates of acquired bedsores (wounds related to staying in a nursing facility) in New York State.

Our team of specialists has more than two decades of experience delivering advanced treatments for chronic, non-healing wounds. Our treatment practices include:

  • Specialized care. Including frequent visits from our nursing staff and wound care specialists to make sure your wounds are dry, clean, and protected.
  • Pressure relieving devices. Protect and support the pressure points of your body to enhance healing of chronic wounds.
  • Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) Therapy System. Applies negative pressure to the wound to drain fluids, remove infectious material, and stimulate healthy tissue growth to promote healing.
  • Specially modified wheelchairs. Adjustable protective padding to fit your body shape.
  • Specialty mattresses. Air is pumped at regular intervals in to the mattress to redistribute the pressure from your body to prevent and heal bedsores.
