Classes of Surgical Wounds
Surgical wounds are typically categorized into four distinct classes based on various factors such as contamination level, infection risk, and location on the body.
Class I
These wounds are deemed clean and exhibit no signs of infection or inflammation. They frequently involve areas like the eye, skin, or vascular system.
Class II
Classified as clean-contaminated wounds, these have a higher risk of infection due to their location, although they may not show signs of infection initially. For instance, surgical wounds in the gastrointestinal tract may fall into this category.
Class III
Any surgical wound with external object contact, leading to a high infection risk, is considered contaminated. Examples include gunshot wounds that may contaminate the vicinity of the surgical repair site.
Class IV
Dirty-contaminated wounds are categorized as Class IV and include wounds exposed to fecal material, posing significant infection risks.
Our experienced staff is trained to handle all types of surgical wounds, from minor incisions to complex surgical site infections.
Common Causes of Open Wounds or Surgical Wounds
Surgical wounds can result from a wide range of causes, including surgical procedures, traumatic injuries, cuts, burns, and infections. Our team is well-equipped to diagnose and treat the underlying causes of open wounds, ensuring a comprehensive approach to wound care.
Complications
Failure to promptly address open wounds can lead to serious complications. Untreated wounds may become infected, resulting in permanent damage or, in severe cases, requiring limb amputation. Additionally, a significant wound could impair function in the affected area. Our wound doctors are trained to identify and address any complications that may occur.

Our wound care company offers a variety of cutting-edge treatments for surgical wounds, tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. From advanced dressings to negative pressure wound therapy, our team utilizes the latest techniques to promote healing and minimize scarring.
