Vascular Ulcer

Expert In-Home Treatment for Venous and Arterial Ulcers

At Advent Mobile Wound Care Services, we specialize in treating vascular ulcers from the comfort of your home. These chronic wounds—caused by impaired circulation—require expert care to heal properly and prevent serious complications. Whether you’re managing a venous ulcer due to poor vein function or an arterial ulcer caused by restricted blood flow, our skilled team brings hospital-quality wound care directly to your door.

Vascular ulcers are open wounds that develop due to poor blood circulation. They commonly occur in the lower legs and feet and are classified into two main types:

• Venous Ulcers: Caused by damaged vein valves that hinder blood from returning to the heart. These ulcers typically appear near the ankles and are often accompanied by swelling, skin discoloration, and aching.
• Arterial Ulcers: Result from narrowed or blocked arteries that reduce blood flow to the limbs. These ulcers usually develop on the feet or toes and may be painful, especially at night or during rest.

Without proper medical care, vascular ulcers can become infected and lead to serious complications, including tissue death and limb amputation.

Recognizing the signs of vascular ulcers early can significantly improve healing outcomes. Common symptoms include:

• Open sores or wounds that do not heal
• Dark red, purple, or brown skin near the ulcer
• Swelling or heaviness in the legs
• Pain while walking or at rest (especially with arterial ulcers)
• Hardened or thickened skin
• Discharge, odor, or signs of infection

Advent’s wound care specialists use evidence-based protocols tailored to the specific type and severity of each vascular ulcer. Our in-home care services include:
