Our medical staff possesses expertise in addressing arterial ulcers in the lower extremities, specifically the legs and feet. We recognize the distinctive obstacles linked to these ulcers and are fully dedicated to delivering tailored treatment that centers around improving blood circulation and facilitating successful recovery. Our primary objective is to assist you in reclaiming your health and overall well-being.
Arterial ulcers are chronic wounds that develop due to poor blood flow in the lower extremities. They result from narrowed or blocked arteries and are typically seen in people with peripheral arterial disease. Arterial ulcers are characterized by open sores with defined edges, slow healing, and a tendency to recur. Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause, wound care, and potentially surgical interventions to improve blood flow. Prompt medical attention is important to prevent complications like infection or amputation.
Thorough Evaluation
Our team initiates a comprehensive assessment to examine the underlying arterial insufficiency and factors contributing to the ulcer. We analyze the blood circulation in your lower extremities, identify any blockages or restrictions in the arteries, and evaluate your overall health. This evaluation enables us to create a personalized treatment plan specifically designed for your individual requirements.
Improving Blood Flow
Arterial ulcers often occur due to diminished blood flow caused by arterial insufficiency. Our team concentrates on enhancing the blood circulation to the affected area through various methods. These may involve making lifestyle adjustments, managing medication, referring you to vascular specialists for further examination and intervention, and utilizing techniques such as intermittent pneumatic compression therapy to stimulate blood flow.
Managing Wound Care
We implement evidence-based wound care practices to facilitate the effective healing of arterial ulcers. This includes meticulous cleaning of the wound, removing non-viable tissue through debridement, and selecting appropriate dressings that create a moist wound environment. Our team possesses expertise in utilizing advanced wound care products tailored specifically for arterial ulcers.
Pain Control
Arterial ulcers can be accompanied by pain, and we recognize the impact this can have on your well-being. Our team evaluates your pain levels and devises a customized pain management plan to ensure your comfort throughout the healing process. This plan may involve medication, topical treatments, and non-pharmacological interventions aimed at alleviating pain and enhancing your quality of life.
