Non Healing Ulcers
Non-healing ulcers are wounds that fail to heal despite appropriate care and treatment. They are often caused by poor blood circulation (arterial disease), venous insufficiency, or nerve damage (neuropathy), and are commonly seen in patients with diabetes or vascular disease.
Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment. A vascular surgeon can accurately diagnose whether the ulcer is related to the arteries, veins, or nerves and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Management may include improving blood flow through angioplasty or bypass surgery, treating underlying vein disorders, specialized wound care, infection control, and advanced dressings to promote healing and prevent complications.
Early evaluation and timely treatment can significantly improve wound healing, reduce the risk of infection, and help prevent limb loss.
