Advanced Wound Care · Delray Beach
Complex wound healing, tissue preservation, limb salvage and reconstructive surgery—integrated around the problem, not a protocol.
Clinical practice · research · surgical education
The program is built around more than treatment protocols. Complex wound care is integrated with reconstructive surgical judgment, peer-reviewed clinical work, resident education and techniques developed in response to difficult tissue-loss problems.
Geriatric skin tears · traumatic tissue salvage
Dr. Andrew Klapper’s peer-reviewed work challenged the assumption that avulsed skin must survive on its remaining traumatic attachment. The injured skin can instead be approached as graft tissue—preserving coverage that might otherwise be discarded.
Focused clinical domains
The center brings wound medicine, reconstructive surgery and coordinated multidisciplinary care together around one goal: durable healing while preserving function whenever possible.
