Advanced, minimally invasive vein care for non-healing leg ulcers.
What Are Leg Ulcers?
Venous leg ulcers develop when severe venous congestion interferes with normal blood flow and skin nutrition. Over time, the skin becomes fragile, breaks down, and forms wounds that are slow—or unable—to heal.
Vein disease is the most common cause of leg ulcers, yet many patients—and even physicians—don’t realize there are highly effective treatments available. The good news: venous leg ulcers almost always heal once the underlying vein problem is treated.
Leg ulcers account for millions of lost workdays each year and make up 70–90% of lower leg ulcers. When addressed early, they can be healed successfully and prevented from returning.
Where Did My Leg Ulcer Come From?
More than 80% of leg ulcers are caused by vein disease, and an estimated 1 in 100 Americans has a non-healing wound on their leg.
Venous leg ulcers develop when vein valves fail to keep blood flowing upward toward the heart. As veins enlarge, valves no longer close properly, allowing blood to leak backward and pool in the legs.
As blood pools, fluid spreads into surrounding tissue, increasing pressure and blocking oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood from reaching the skin. This impaired circulation leads to skin breakdown, tissue death, and ulcer formation.
Think of it like a leak in the attic causing damage in the basement—until the source is fixed, the damage continues.
What Can Be Done for My Wound?
Successful treatment requires addressing both the wound and the vein disease causing it.
Treat the Skin (“Drywall”)
- For severe or open ulcers, wound care may be necessary to protect the skin, manage drainage, and prevent infection before or alongside vein treatment.
Treat the Veins (“Plumbing”)
- Your vein disease is the root cause of the ulcer. If we fix the plumbing (veins), the drywall (skin) can heal.
- Untreated veins can prevent ulcers from healing—or cause them to return
- A venous ultrasound identifies which minimally invasive treatments you qualify for
- Treating the veins restores healthy circulation and allows healing to occur
Wear Compression
- Compression is a critical part of healing venous leg ulcers.
- Reduces pressure in leg veins
- Improves circulation
- Helps ulcers heal faster and stay healed
- Your Vein911® team will properly measure and fit you for medical-grade graduated compression stockings.
