Mobile Care for Ischemic Ulcers

Ischemic ulcers, also known as arterial ulcers, occur due to insufficient blood flow to the lower extremities, typically affecting the feet and toes. This lack of adequate circulation, often caused by underlying conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), results in tissue breakdown and ulceration. These ulcers are characterized by their deep, punched-out appearance and are usually surrounded by skin that appears shiny and taut. Unlike venous ulcers, which are caused by poor blood return to the heart and are typically found on the lower legs, arterial ulcers are a direct result of reduced arterial blood supply and are often found on the tips of toes, heels, or other pressure points on the feet. These wounds can be particularly painful and slow to heal, necessitating specialized care to manage them effectively. Our team of experienced professionals is equipped with the knowledge and tools to address these complex wounds, focusing on promoting healing and enhancing your quality of life. We approach every case with empathy and expertise, understanding the physical and emotional impact arterial ulcers can have on your life.
