Wound Problems

Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Diabetic Foot Ulcers are the most common cause of sores/ulcers on the feet or toes of patients who have diabetes mellitus. It is also one of the common causes of bone infection of the toes/foot. It can lead to amputation of toes, foot, and possibly even the leg.

Venous Stasis Ulcers

Venous Stasis Ulcers are sores that usually occur around the ankle or lower leg and are usually associated with long term vein problems (think blood clots (DVT), phlebitis (SVT), leg swelling, varicose or spider veins, etc).

Arterial Ulcers

Arterial/Ischemic Ulcers occur because of poor arterial flow to the skin and tissues. The ulcers most commonly appear in the legs. Minor trauma or a small cut in the skin may not heal because the arterial blood carries oxygen, healing factors and nutrients to the skin and underlying tissues.
