In-home surgical wound care in Denton & Cooke County
After foot, ankle, or lower-leg surgery, a clean, well-monitored incision is the key to a smooth recovery. When getting to a clinic is difficult, Dr. David J. Barber, DPM brings expert post-surgical wound care to your home across Denton County and Cooke County.
What are surgical wounds?
A surgical wound is the incision made during an operation. Most heal without issue, but some are slow to close or develop complications — especially on the lower leg and foot, or in patients with diabetes, poor circulation, or other health conditions. Careful monitoring and the right care help these wounds heal fully and prevent setbacks.
When a surgical wound needs extra attention
Contact us promptly if a healing incision shows any of these signs:
- Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or pain
- Drainage, pus, or a foul odor
- Edges that are separating or reopening
- A wound that is not steadily improving
- Fever or feeling unwell along with wound changes
