Why Use a Mobile Wound Care Service to Treat Arterial Ulcers
Leg and foot wounds (or arterial ulcers) occur when blood flow is hindered in these extremities. This results in a deficiency of oxygen and nutrients, which causes the tissues to wither and develop an open sore. If left untreated, arterial ulcers can worsen and may eventually lead to amputation of the extremity.
Chronic wounds, such as arterial ulcers, often require frequent medical appointments to be treated and healed. By managing wound care at home or at a healthcare facility (such as assisted living), patients can avoid unnecessary hospital visits and readmissions into the hospital.
Our in-home wound care services for treating arterial ulcers provide a better solution. Our expert team visits patients in their homes, providing the specialized mobile wound care needed for reduced risk of infection and optimal healing.
Coming to the healthcare facility to treat a patient (where they are most comfortable) allows the patient to focus on healing and achieving the best possible outcome. This expert care also enables a more holistic approach to wound management in collaboration with the patient’s primary care physicians.
