Wound Care
Effective wound care starts with understanding why the wound is not healing. Using our in-house vascular ultrasound lab, we assess the circulation in the affected leg to determine whether the problem is venous, arterial, or a combination.

Wounds that will not heal usually have a reason
A leg wound or ulcer that lingers for weeks is often a sign of an underlying circulation problem. We diagnose the cause and treat it, pairing hands-on wound care with the vascular expertise to address what is keeping the wound open.
Many chronic leg wounds are venous in origin. When vein valves fail and blood pools in the lower leg, the pressure damages the skin and slows healing. Cleaning and dressing the wound helps, but it will keep returning until the circulation problem behind it is corrected. That is where a vein and vascular clinic makes the difference: we can treat the wound and the cause in the same place.

When to seek wound care
Consider an assessment if you have:
- A leg or ankle wound that has not healed in a few weeks
- A wound that keeps returning to the same area
- Ongoing swelling, skin darkening, or hardening near the ankle
- Pain, drainage, or signs of infection around a wound
- A history of varicose veins, blood clots, or venous insufficiency alongside a slow-healing wound
Early assessment matters. The longer a wound stays open, the higher the risk of infection and further tissue damage, and the longer it takes to heal.
Finding the cause first
Effective wound care starts with understanding why the wound is not healing. Using our in-house vascular ultrasound lab, we assess the circulation in the affected leg to determine whether the problem is venous, arterial, or a combination. That answer shapes the entire treatment plan.
If failing vein valves are driving the wound, treating that reflux, through the same minimally invasive options we use for varicose veins, removes the pressure that keeps the wound open. Wound care and vein treatment work together rather than in isolation.

Our approach to wound care
Care is tailored to the wound and the person. Depending on your assessment, a plan may include:
- Wound assessment and monitoring to track healing and adjust treatment as needed
- Compression therapy to reduce swelling and support venous return, a cornerstone of healing venous leg ulcers
- Treating the underlying vein disease so the wound can heal and is less likely to return
- Coordinated follow-up with the same specialist team from diagnosis through healing
Note for the client: please confirm the specific wound care services and any dressings, debridement, or advanced modalities the clinic offers, plus whether wound care requires a referral. I have described the venous wound pathway your team is set up for and kept modality claims general so the page states only what the clinic actually provides.
Why a vascular team for wound care
Wound care delivered without vascular expertise treats the surface and misses the cause. At Windflower, wound care sits alongside diagnostic imaging and vein treatment, guided by a vascular surgeon, radiologists, phlebologists, and a vascular medicine and thrombosis specialist working from the same facility. If your wound has a circulation cause, we are equipped to find it and treat it, not just manage it.
Meet the Team
Take the first step toward healing
If you have a wound that is not improving, the sooner we understand why, the sooner it can heal.
Our team will assess the wound, check the circulation behind it, and build a plan to close it for good.
