How Wound Care in Sebring works
Venous ulcers require attentive care in order to heal with minimal scarring.
We provide thorough cleaning and treatment of the wound, but we also educate our patients on continuing wound care such as changing the dressings protecting the healthy skin around the wound.
As you heal, you’ll wear compression stockings every day, which helps normalize the pressure in your blood vessels and alleviate the cause of the wound. Ultimately, we’ll help to resolve the underlying vein issue that’s causing your venous ulcer.
Wound Care FAQs
Vein problems can lead to skin wounds because when the vein’s valves are weak or damaged, they let blood go back down the vein, where it accumulates, enlarges the vein, and leads to increasingly high pressure. As a result of the pressure, vessels rupture and leak fluids into the surrounding tissues. This damage gradually makes your skin break down, creating the hard-to-heal ulcer.
When it comes to treating chronic wounds, it’s important for you to take an active role. We may recommend things like compression stockings to promote healthy blood flow around the wound, and we’ll show how to properly clean and dress the wound at home. When you visit us for wound care, your specialist will ensure you receive the exceptional care you deserve.
