Our vascular surgeon and certified wound care nurse will study the wound, assess the barriers to healing, and then implement an individualized treatment plan. 
A chronic, non-healing wound is one that does not heal, or at least improve significantly, within four weeks. Current statistics conclude that nearly 5 million Americans are afflicted with chronic, non-healing wounds.
The most common sufferers of chronic wounds are individuals with:
- Diabetes – diabetic patients often acquire wounds as a result of poor circulation in the toes and feet, called diabetic neuropathy, which can cause a lack of feeling in the extremities.
- Venous Insufficiency – caused by venous stasis, a disease that affects the pumping of blood from the legs back to the heart.
- Pressure Ulcers – a common side effect of spinal cord injury, arthritis and other immobilizing disorders
- Arterial Ulcers – a round-shaped wound caused by impaired circulation often seen on the legs or feet
