Advanced regenerative care for chronic leg wounds caused by poor vein circulation. Break the cycle of non-healing with proven treatments.
Venous leg ulcers are open wounds that develop on the lower legs when damaged veins fail to properly return blood to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the legs, creating pressure that damages skin and underlying tissue.
They're the most common type of leg ulcer, accounting for 70-90% of all leg wounds. Without proper treatment, venous ulcers can persist for months or even years, causing significant pain and impacting quality of life.
Valves in leg veins become damaged, preventing proper blood flow back to the heart and causing fluid buildup.
Increased pressure in leg veins damages surrounding tissue and impairs skin's ability to heal.
Previous deep vein thrombosis can cause permanent vein damage, increasing ulcer risk.
Obesity, prolonged standing, previous leg injuries, pregnancy, and family history increase risk.
Venous leg ulcers typically appear on the inner ankle or lower calf and have distinct characteristics:
Our most effective treatment for venous ulcers. These grafts provide growth factors that accelerate healing while protecting the wound bed.
Stem cells and biologics promote new blood vessel formation and tissue regeneration for faster healing.
Proper compression is critical. We use medical-grade compression systems to reduce swelling and improve venous return.
We come to you for regular wound assessments and compression adjustments—no need to travel to a clinic.
Venous ulcers are notoriously difficult to heal because the underlying circulatory problem persists. Several interconnected factors prevent closure:
Damaged vein valves allow blood to pool in lower legs, creating constant pressure that damages capillaries. This pressure must be controlled with compression therapy—without it, wounds cannot heal regardless of other treatments.
Venous congestion causes chronic inflammation with elevated inflammatory markers. Wounds remain stuck in inflammatory phase unable to progress to proliferation and tissue formation.
Venous ulcers produce copious drainage creating moist environment perfect for bacterial growth. Biofilm formation prevents healing even when infection isn't clinically apparent.
While not as severe as arterial insufficiency, venous congestion reduces oxygen delivery to tissue. Cells can't generate energy needed for repair processes.
Venous hypertension causes fibrin to leak from capillaries and form cuff around vessels, acting as barrier preventing oxygen and nutrients from reaching wound.
Without proper treatment, venous leg ulcers progressively worsen with serious consequences:
• Chronicity: 50% of venous ulcers remain open for over 9 months without specialist care
• Infection: Cellulitis, lymphangitis, or sepsis requiring hospitalization and IV antibiotics
• Increased size: Ulcers enlarge over time, eventually encircling entire lower leg
• Lipodermatosclerosis: Permanent skin hardening and woody texture from chronic inflammation
• Malignant transformation: Long-standing ulcers (10+ years) can develop squamous cell carcinoma
• Disability: Chronic pain, inability to work, social isolation, and depression
Our mobile wound care specialists bring hospital-quality venous ulcer treatment to your home. Each visit includes:
Wound measurements, photography, circulation evaluation, and documentation
Remove slough, clean wound bed, prepare for advanced treatments
Application and adjustment of medical-grade compression systems
Absorptive dressings for heavy drainage, antimicrobial layers if needed
Amniotic grafts or cellular therapies when indicated for non-healing ulcers
Leg elevation techniques, supplies for between visits, warning signs to watch
Visits typically occur 1-2 times weekly initially, then weekly as healing progresses. We coordinate all care with your primary doctor and vascular specialist if needed.
Medicare Part B covers venous leg ulcer treatment including mobile visits, debridement, compression therapy, advanced dressings, and skin substitutes when medically necessary. Medicare pays 80% after deductible, you pay 20% coinsurance (typically $0 with Medigap supplement).
Most private insurance plans cover venous ulcer care similarly to Medicare. We handle all billing and authorization. Learn more about Medicare wound care coverage.
Of venous ulcers heal with our regenerative approach
Most patients see improvement within 4-8 weeks
With proper compression therapy and wound care, most venous leg ulcers heal within 12–16 weeks. When regenerative biologics such as amniotic grafts are used, healing may occur in 6–10 weeks. Large or long-standing ulcers (open longer than one year) may take 4–6 months. Without compression therapy, venous ulcers rarely heal—compression is essential.
Yes. Compression is lifelong after a venous ulcer heals because the underlying venous insufficiency does not resolve. Without continued compression, up to 70% of venous ulcers recur within three months. Medical-grade compression stockings (20–30 mmHg or 30–40 mmHg) should be worn daily during waking hours. Medicare typically covers replacement stockings every six months.
No. Venous ulcers require compression therapy to correct venous hypertension. Without proper compression and wound care, ulcers gradually enlarge and become chronic. Studies show very few venous ulcers heal without professional treatment, and those that do often recur quickly without ongoing compression management.
Yes. Elevation is critical for venous ulcers and is the opposite approach used for arterial ulcers. Elevate the legs above heart level for 30 minutes, three to four times daily. Sleeping with the legs elevated 6–12 inches helps reduce venous pressure. Elevation works best when combined with compression therapy. Avoid prolonged standing or sitting with legs down.
The most effective treatment is a multi-modal approach that includes sustained compression therapy, regular debridement, appropriate moisture-managing dressings, leg elevation, and regenerative biologics for ulcers not healing after four weeks of standard care. Compression is the foundation of all successful venous ulcer treatment.
Usually not. Most venous ulcers heal with compression therapy and wound care alone. Vein procedures such as ablation may be considered if the ulcer fails to heal despite optimal care, if significant venous reflux is found on ultrasound, or if ulcers recur despite compliance. Vascular referral is made only when indicated.
Even if your venous ulcer has been open for months or years, regenerative therapy can help. Connect with a specialist today.
