Arterial Ulcers
Understanding Arterial Ulcers
Arterial ulcers form when blood can’t flow properly through the arteries, most commonly due to peripheral artery disease (PAD). These wounds often appear on the lower legs, feet, or toes, and may look round, dry, or pale. Because oxygen and nutrients can't reach the area efficiently, these wounds heal very slowly or not at all without medical intervention.
Why Treatment Matters
Without proper care, arterial ulcers can quickly worsen, leading to serious infections, tissue death or even amputation. Early treatment helps restore circulation, manage symptoms and prevent dangerous complications.
