Treating Chronic Leg Ulcers with Compassion and Expertise

Venous stasis ulcers are chronic wounds that result from poor blood circulation in the legs, often leading to persistent pain, swelling, and difficulty healing. At Advanced Mobile Wound Care, we specialize in treating venous stasis ulcers with advanced techniques designed to support healing and improve your quality of life—all in the comfort of your home.

What Are Venous Stasis Ulcers?

Venous stasis ulcers, also known as venous ulcers, develop when the veins in the legs are unable to effectively return blood to the heart. This condition, called chronic venous insufficiency, causes blood to pool in the lower legs, leading to increased pressure in the veins and damage to the surrounding tissues. Over time, this pressure can cause open sores, particularly on the inner part of the lower leg or ankle.

These ulcers are typically slow to heal and may reoccur without proper treatment and ongoing management.

Symptoms and Causes of Venous Stasis Ulcers

Chronic leg ulcers often develop gradually and are characterized by:

  • A shallow, open sore with irregular edges.
  • Surrounding skin that appears darkened or discolored.
  • Swelling and a feeling of heaviness in the legs.
  • Weeping fluid or signs of infection, such as redness or foul odor.
  • Persistent itching or discomfort.

Common causes and risk factors include:

  • A history of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
  • Varicose veins or chronic swelling (edema) in the legs.
  • Obesity, pregnancy, or prolonged standing.
  • Aging or a family history of venous disease.

How We Treat Venous Stasis Ulcers

Our mobile wound care team takes a comprehensive, personalized approach to treating venous stasis ulcers, addressing both the wound and its underlying causes. Treatment may include:

Removing dead or damaged tissue to promote healing and prevent infection.

  • Compression Therapy

Using specialized wraps, stockings, or devices to improve circulation and reduce swelling.

Applying dressings that manage moisture, protect the wound, and encourage tissue regeneration.

Treating any signs of infection with appropriate antibiotics or topical solutions.

  • Education and Prevention

Teaching patients techniques to prevent ulcer recurrence, including leg elevation, exercise, and proper skin care.

Our goal is to provide the most effective care while prioritizing your comfort and convenience.
