    Venous & Lymphedema Ulcers

    Specialized Treatment for Circulation-Related Wounds — Delivered at Home

    Venous ulcers and lymphedema-related wounds require expert evaluation and consistent, structured care. These wounds often develop slowly, resist healing, and can worsen without proper treatment. We provide advanced, physician-led care directly in the home, combining clinical precision with compassionate support.

    Venous Ulcers

    Occur when poor blood flow in the legs causes fluid buildup and skin breakdown, often around the lower legs or ankles.

    Common signs include:

    • Swelling
    • Dark or discolored skin
    • Aching or heaviness
    • Shallow open wounds
    • Thickened skin or hardened tissue

    Lymphedema Ulcers

    Occur when lymphatic fluid builds up, causing swelling and stretching of the skin that makes it vulnerable to breaks and infections.

    Common signs include:

    • Persistent swelling
    • Tight or heavy skin
    • Recurring infections
    • Weeping or drainage

    What to Expect With Our In-Home Care

    1

    Full Circulatory Assessment

    ABI testing, Doppler assessment, PRC testing, and skin integrity evaluation to determine the safest, most effective treatment plan.

    2

    Personalized Treatment Strategy

    Plans tailored to wound depth & severity, swelling patterns, circulatory status, underlying causes, skin condition, and patient mobility.

    3

    Debridement & Wound Preparation

    Sharp, enzymatic, or mechanical debridement as appropriate to encourage healthy tissue and faster healing.

    4

    Compression & Edema Management

    A cornerstone of venous and lymphedema ulcer care — we provide evidence-based compression therapy.

    5

    Infection Monitoring & Management

    We watch closely for early signs of infection and coordinate cultures or antibiotics when needed.

    6

    Advanced Therapies

    Cellular tissue products (CTPs), moisture-balancing dressings, edema-specific wound dressings, and skin protection barriers.

    7

    Consistent Follow-Up

    Regular, structured home visits ensure swelling decreases, tissue improves, and healing progresses safely.

    Common Causes

    Chronic venous insufficiency
    Valve dysfunction in leg veins
    Prolonged standing or sitting
    History of DVT
    Lymphedema or lymphatic damage
    Obesity
    Reduced mobility
    Fluid retention
    Trauma to swollen legs

    Identifying the cause is essential for long-term healing and prevention.

    Our Approach

    We don't just treat the ulcer — we address the underlying issues driving it. This leads to faster healing, reduced swelling, fewer recurrences, lower infection risk, and dramatic improvement in comfort and mobility.
