Wound healing is a complex process, and every wound is unique. At Brighton Apothecary, we understand that standard treatments may not always provide the best solution for every patient. That’s why we specialize in customized wound care medications, tailored to support healing and address specific patient needs.
Types of Wounds That May Benefit from Compounded Medications
Different wounds require different approaches. Our compounding pharmacy works closely with providers to develop medications that are customized for:
Acute Wounds
- Surgical Incisions – Post-surgical wounds that require precise healing and infection prevention.
- Burns – First-, second-, and third-degree burns that may require pain relief and skin regeneration support.
- Abrasions and Lacerations – Superficial wounds that benefit from antimicrobial and healing-enhancing agents.
Chronic Wounds
- Diabetic Ulcers – Non-healing wounds often due to poor circulation and neuropathy.
- Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores) – Wounds caused by prolonged pressure, common in immobile patients.
- Venous Stasis Ulcers – Wounds resulting from poor blood flow, requiring specialized treatment.
Infected Wounds
- Post-Surgical Infections – Wounds at risk of or already experiencing infection.
- Traumatic Wounds – Injuries that have become contaminated or have delayed healing due to infection.
