Specialized Treatment
Advanced regenerative care for chronic leg wounds caused by poor vein circulation. Break the cycle of non-healing with proven treatments.
Venous leg ulcers are open wounds that develop on the lower legs when damaged veins fail to properly return blood to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the legs, creating pressure that damages skin and underlying tissue.
They're the most common type of leg ulcer, accounting for 70-90% of all leg wounds. Without proper treatment, venous ulcers can persist for months or even years, causing significant pain and impacting quality of life.
Valves in leg veins become damaged, preventing proper blood flow back to the heart and causing fluid buildup.
Increased pressure in leg veins damages surrounding tissue and impairs skin's ability to heal.
Previous deep vein thrombosis can cause permanent vein damage, increasing ulcer risk.
Obesity, prolonged standing, previous leg injuries, pregnancy, and family history increase risk.
Venous leg ulcers typically appear on the inner ankle or lower calf and have distinct characteristics:
Venous ulcers require a comprehensive approach that addresses both the wound and the underlying circulation problem:
Our most effective treatment for venous ulcers. These grafts provide growth factors that accelerate healing while protecting the wound bed. See skin substitute options.
Proper compression is critical. We use medical-grade compression systems to reduce swelling and improve venous return. 80% of venous ulcers heal with proper compression alone.
Stem cells and biologics promote new blood vessel formation and tissue regeneration for faster healing. Learn about cellular therapy options.
Remove slough and non-viable tissue to promote healthy granulation. Less aggressive than diabetic ulcers due to fragile venous skin.
We come to you for regular wound assessments and compression adjustments—no need to travel to a clinic.
Venous ulcers are notoriously difficult to heal because the underlying circulatory problem persists. Several interconnected factors prevent closure:
Damaged vein valves allow blood to pool in lower legs, creating constant pressure that damages capillaries. This pressure must be controlled with compression therapy—without it, wounds cannot heal regardless of other treatments.
Venous congestion causes chronic inflammation with elevated inflammatory markers. Wounds remain stuck in inflammatory phase unable to progress to proliferation and tissue formation.
Venous ulcers produce copious drainage creating moist environment perfect for bacterial growth. Biofilm formation prevents healing even when infection isn't clinically apparent.
While not as severe as arterial insufficiency, venous congestion reduces oxygen delivery to tissue. Cells can't generate energy needed for repair processes.
Venous hypertension causes fibrin to leak from capillaries and form cuff around vessels, acting as barrier preventing oxygen and nutrients from reaching wound.
Without proper treatment, venous leg ulcers progressively worsen with serious consequences:
Our mobile wound care specialists bring hospital-quality venous ulcer treatment to your home. Each visit includes:
Comprehensive Assessment
Wound measurements, photography, circulation evaluation, and documentation
Wound Cleaning & Debridement
Remove slough, clean wound bed, prepare for advanced treatments
Compression Therapy
Application and adjustment of medical-grade compression systems
Advanced Dressings
Absorptive dressings for heavy drainage, antimicrobial layers if needed
Skin Substitute Application
Amniotic grafts or cellular therapies when indicated for non-healing ulcers
Education & Supplies
Leg elevation techniques, supplies for between visits, warning signs to watch
Visits typically occur 1-2 times weekly initially, then weekly as healing progresses. We coordinate all care with your primary doctor and vascular specialist if needed.
Medicare Part B covers venous leg ulcer treatment including mobile visits, debridement, compression therapy, advanced dressings, and skin substitutes when medically necessary. Medicare pays 80% after deductible, you pay 20% coinsurance (typically $0 with Medigap supplement).
Most private insurance plans cover venous ulcer care similarly to Medicare. We handle all billing and authorization. Learn more about Medicare wound care coverage.
