Venous Stasis Ulcers

Venous Stasis Ulcer Treatment in DFW

At Anchor Wound Management, we provide advanced treatment for venous stasis ulcers for patients across the Dallas, Fort Worth, and greater DFW area.

These wounds are caused by poor circulation and require specialized care to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and support healing.

What Are Venous Stasis Ulcers

Venous stasis ulcers are slow-healing wounds that typically develop on the lower legs due to poor blood circulation.

When veins have difficulty returning blood to the heart, fluid can build up in the legs, causing swelling and skin breakdown.

Over time, this can lead to open wounds that require advanced care to heal properly.

What Causes Circulation-Related Wounds

Venous stasis ulcers are most commonly caused by chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where blood flow through the veins is impaired.

Contributing factors may include:

• Poor circulation in the legs

• Prolonged standing or sitting

• Swelling and fluid buildup

• Previous vein damage or conditions

These factors can prevent wounds from healing and increase the risk of recurrence.

Symptoms and Warning Signs

Early identification can help prevent wounds from worsening.

Signs of venous stasis ulcers may include:

• Swelling in the lower legs or ankles

• Skin discoloration or darkening

• Open sores on the lower leg

• Drainage or tenderness

• Wounds that heal slowly or return over time

If these symptoms are present, it is important to seek care early.

Treatment Options for Venous Stasis Ulcers

Treatment focuses on improving circulation while supporting wound healing.

This may include:

• Compression therapy to reduce swelling

• Advanced wound dressings

• Sharp debridement to remove damaged tissue

• Graft placements for complex wounds

• Ongoing monitoring and care

Managing the underlying circulation issue is key to long-term healing.

What to Expect During Care

Our team provides consistent, structured care to improve outcomes.

During treatment, patients can expect:

• A full assessment of the wound and circulation

• A personalized treatment plan

• Regular visits and monitoring

• Adjustments based on healing progress

We focus on both healing the current wound and preventing recurrence.
