MOBILE WOUND CARE · NON-HEALING & CHRONIC WOUNDS
In-home care for non-healing & chronic wounds
When a wound just won’t close — despite weeks or even months of care — it needs a specialist’s approach. Dr. David J. Barber, DPM brings advanced chronic wound care to your home across Denton County and Cooke County, with a track record of closing wounds others couldn’t.
What makes a wound “chronic”?
A wound is considered non-healing or chronic when it fails to make meaningful progress toward closing within about four to six weeks. On the lower leg and foot this often comes down to poor circulation, diabetes, pressure, infection, or a combination — and it usually means the wound needs more than routine dressing changes. The good news: with the right diagnosis and tools, even long-standing wounds can heal.
Why some wounds stall
Chronic wounds often share one or more of these underlying issues:
- Reduced blood flow (arterial disease)
- Poor vein return and swelling (venous disease)
- Diabetes and nerve damage (neuropathy)
- Ongoing pressure or repeated injury
- Low tissue oxygen or hidden infection
How Dr. Barber heals stubborn wounds — at home
Dr. Barber brings the full capability of an outpatient wound clinic to your bedside, so nothing stands between you and healing:
- Vascular testing (Smart ABI & TCOM) to find and fix circulation barriers
- Portable X-ray to rule out deep or bone infection
- Pain-free ultrasound debridement, safe even with poor blood flow
- Topical oxygen therapy — often more effective than hyperbaric for stubborn wounds
- Advanced dressings and targeted infection management
- A clear, coordinated plan with your existing home-health team
A track record of closing tough wounds
Dr. Barber has a remarkable record of healing wounds others couldn’t — including one complex wound that had stayed open for more than five years across three wound-care centers, which finally closed after about eight months of his care. Closing wounds faster also lowers the risk of infection, hospitalization, and long courses of IV antibiotics.
