The wound that refuses to close: What else can be done?

Thu, May 21, 2026

When a wound lingers for weeks or months despite careful treatment, it can be frustrating and disheartening. Chronic wounds are estimated to affect one to two per cent of the population, and some people are even told there are no further treatment options.

A wound that won’t heal – the treatment Galway clients need to know about

Thu, May 14, 2026

Ireland has one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in Europe, with more than 225,000 people currently diagnosed. Among the most serious complications are diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). DFUs are wounds that are slow to heal, and around 15 per cent of people with diabetes will develop a DFU during their lifetime. DFUs can significantly impact quality of life, and, in some cases, result in admission to hospital or amputation.

DFUs develop due to poor circulation. Conditions such as peripheral arterial disease and diabetes-related blood vessel damage can prevent tissues from getting enough oxygen. Without adequate oxygen, even the best standard wound care can struggle to help wounds heal.
