Persistent wounds often stem from underlying vascular conditions that impede proper healing. Our team of vascular surgeons, specializing in blood flow and circulation, is here to offer comprehensive wound care solutions tailored to optimize your healing journey.
Understanding Chronic Wounds and Their Connection to Vascular Disease
Chronic wounds are those that don't heal completely or take a significantly longer time to close than expected. Several underlying vascular conditions can contribute to chronic wounds, including:
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD):
This condition narrows arteries in the legs, restricting blood flow and oxygen delivery to the tissues. This limited oxygen supply can hinder wound healing.
- Venous insufficiency: When blood flow struggles to return to the heart from the legs, it can pool in the lower extremities, leading to chronic leg ulcers.
- Diabetic foot ulcers: Diabetes can damage nerves and blood vessels, increasing the risk of developing foot ulcers that are slow to heal.
Our Approach to Advanced Wound Care
At Vascular Care Specialists, we go beyond basic wound cleaning and dressing changes. Our comprehensive wound care program offers a multi-faceted approach to promote optimal healing and prevent complications, including:
- Advanced Wound Debridement:
We utilize specialized techniques to remove dead or infected tissue, creating a clean environment for healthy tissue growth.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: This therapy involves placing you in a pressurized chamber with pure oxygen, which can enhance healing by increasing oxygen delivery to the wound site.
- Nutritional Counseling: Proper nutrition plays a vital role in wound healing. Our team may collaborate with a nutritionist to develop a personalized dietary plan to support your recovery.
- Compression Therapy: This therapy involves utilizing specialized wraps or stockings to improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the affected area.
- Addressing Underlying Vascular Issues: If underlying vascular disease is contributing to the wound, our surgeons may recommend minimally invasive procedures to improve blood flow and promote healing.
