Quick Answer
What is wound graft therapy?
Wound grafts are biological or synthetic materials applied to a wound to promote healing in cases where standard wound care has failed. Advanced wound grafts — including DDHAM amniotic membrane grafts — introduce growth factors and biological signals that restart the healing process in chronic, non-healing wounds. Superior Wound Specialists, a division of Superior Home Health of Michigan, delivers wound graft therapy directly to patients at home across Metro Detroit.
For many patients with chronic wounds, standard wound care — dressing changes, debridement, compression therapy — eventually reaches a plateau. The wound is clean and managed, but it simply isn't healing. This is where advanced wound graft therapy becomes clinically relevant. Superior Home Health of Michigan, through its specialized division Superior Wound Specialists, provides wound graft therapy for appropriate patients across Livonia, Novi, Farmington Hills, and all of Metro Detroit.
A wound graft is a material — biological, synthetic, or a combination — placed directly on a wound bed to support tissue regeneration and promote healing. Unlike a simple dressing that covers a wound, a graft interacts with the wound tissue to encourage cellular growth, reduce inflammation, and stimulate blood vessel formation. Grafts are used when a wound has failed to progress through normal healing stages despite appropriate clinical treatment.
DDHAM (dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane) grafts are derived from donated human placental tissue — specifically the membrane that surrounds a developing fetus during pregnancy. This tissue is rich in growth factors, cytokines, collagen, and extracellular matrix proteins that promote healing. When applied to a chronic wound, DDHAM creates a biological environment that stimulates cellular migration, reduces inflammatory mediators, and accelerates tissue regeneration.
DDHAM is one of the most clinically studied advanced wound materials and is particularly effective for diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, and venous leg ulcers that have stalled with conventional care. See our complete guide to advanced wound care at home in Michigan for more on how this therapy works.
Bioengineered skin substitutes provide a scaffold that the body's own cells can grow into. They may be derived from human tissue, animal sources, or synthetic materials — and serve as a temporary or permanent replacement for damaged skin in complex wound situations.
For larger wounds or those requiring permanent coverage, split-thickness skin grafts involve transplanting a thin layer of the patient's own skin from a donor site to the wound. This is typically performed in a surgical setting, though wound care before and after the procedure is often managed at home by skilled nurses.
Wound grafts are not the first line of treatment for every wound. They are typically considered when a wound has been appropriately treated for 4+ weeks without measurable improvement. Patients who most commonly benefit include:

Visit Superior Wound Specialists →The process of receiving wound graft therapy at home through Superior Wound Specialists follows a structured clinical protocol. First, a licensed clinician performs a comprehensive wound assessment and determines whether the wound is an appropriate candidate for graft therapy. The wound bed must be prepared — free of infection and non-viable tissue — before a graft can be applied effectively.
Once the wound is ready, the graft material is applied by a skilled nurse during a home visit. Subsequent visits monitor graft integration, assess the wound response, and manage dressings appropriately. Skilled nursing oversight throughout this process ensures the graft has the best possible environment to support healing.
Medicare may cover wound graft therapy when it is medically necessary, ordered by a physician, and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. Coverage depends on the patient's homebound status, the wound type, and documented medical necessity. Superior Home Health of Michigan is Medicare and Medicaid certified.
