FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is mobile wound care?

Mobile wound care brings professional wound treatment directly to your home, eliminating the need for travel and allowing for more personalized, convenient care.

Traveling to a wound care clinic can be physically and emotionally exhausting, especially for patients with limited mobility, chronic pain, or transportation challenges. With mobile wound care, you receive the same level of expert treatment you would in a clinic — but in the comfort, safety, and convenience of your own home. This reduces stress, lowers the risk of infection, and promotes faster, more consistent healing.

Yes — and often more effective. Our mobile care team uses hospital-grade equipment and evidence-based techniques to provide comprehensive wound care at home. We bring the clinic to you, delivering advanced therapies like NPWT, compression therapy, debridement, and grafting. Many patients experience improved outcomes because of the personalized attention and consistent follow-ups that home care allows.

We specialize in the treatment of chronic, complex, and hard-to-heal wounds. These include:

  • Diabetic foot ulcers

  • Pressure injuries (bedsores)

  • Venous and arterial ulcers

  • Post-surgical wounds

  • Trauma wounds

  • Infected or slow-healing wounds

    If you or a loved one has a wound that hasn’t healed within a few weeks or is showing signs of infection, our team can help.

Your care will be provided by a team of experienced physicians and registered nurses who specialize in wound care. Our providers have over 30 years of combined experience and are trained in the most current techniques and technologies. Doctors Caputo and Cotter, the founders of AWCS, have practiced medicine on the Western Slope of Colorado for over 12 years and have built a trusted reputation in patient-centered care.

Yes. We provide a full range of advanced wound care treatments, including:

  • Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) – uses suction to remove fluids and promote healing

  • Wound grafting – helps regenerate tissue in complex wounds

  • Compression therapy – used for venous ulcers and edema control

  • Vibrational debridement – reduces pain during removal of dead tissue

  • Fluorescence imaging – assesses wound size and bacterial load in real time

    These treatments are typically only available in specialty clinics or hospitals — but we make them accessible at home.

Yes, and for many patients, it’s actually safer than visiting a clinic or hospital. By receiving care at home, patients reduce exposure to infections, avoid unnecessary travel, and benefit from a quieter, less stressful healing environment. We follow strict infection control protocols and tailor every aspect of care to meet the unique needs of high-risk individuals.
