Venous and Arterial Ulcers

Venous and arterial ulcers are chronic wounds caused by poor circulation. Without expert care, these ulcers can become painful, infected and slow to heal.

Venous ulcers develop when poor vein function causes blood to pool in the legs, causing swelling and open sores often below the knee.
Arterial ulcers occur when blood flow is reduced due to narrowed or blocked arteries in the lower limbs.
Both types of ulcers signal underlying circulation issues that need to be addressed in order to heal.

Care for venous and arterial ulcers includes:

• Comprehensive evaluation to assess wound characteristics and underlying risks.
• Advanced wound care to clean, treat and prevent infection.
• Compression therapy to improve blood flow and reduce swelling.
• Vascular referral to address underlying blood flow issues.
• Lifestyle and risk factor management to support healing.
• Patient education to promote self-care and monitor signs of infection.
