What are Ulcers?

Foot and Leg ulcers are wounds, or sores, that do not heal. Often, foot and leg ulcers are a result from a heart or vascular condition, or other health problems.

What causes leg ulcers?

Causes of leg ulcers include:

Chronic venous insufficiency: Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when faulty valves in leg veins allow blood to flow backward into the leg where it pools. If you develop high blood pressure in the leg veins, tiny blood vessels (capillaries) can burst, causing inflammation, itching and dry skin. Leg ulcers develop when the skin breaks open.

Diabetes: High blood sugar levels from diabetes can cause fat deposits to form inside blood vessels, causing them to narrow. Reduced blood flow can cause nerve damage or diabetic neuropathy. With these nerve problems, you may not be able to feel a leg ulcer or know it’s there. Diabetes also slows the wound healing process.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD): This condition causes plaque (fatty deposits) to build up in the arteries (atherosclerosis). The blood vessels in the leg become narrow, leading to poor blood circulation. The reduced blood flow slows the healing of leg ulcers. People with diabetes are more likely to develop PAD.

High blood pressure: Chronic, poorly controlled high blood pressure (hypertension) can cause an extremely painful ulcer on the lower leg called a Martorell ulcer. High blood pressure causes the capillaries in the skin to become narrow, cutting off the blood supply to the skin. The skin can die, forming a leg ulcer.

When an ulcer does not heal, you may need advance wound care management using new biologics materials.

Below is an example of what is used in our office.

What is WoundFix™?

WoundFix™ is a natural wound-focused biologic that utilizes powerful rich extracellular matrices naturally found in human amniotic tissues. These human amniotic tissue transplants may provide your body with the foundation it needs to repair itself. Common clinical examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Comorbid patients with complex defects or delayed healing
  • Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs)
  • Venous leg ulcers (VLUs)
  • Debridement’s

Where does WoundFix™ come from?

WoundFix™ is derived from naturally rich human placental tissues, donated by volunteer U.S. based donors after a live, healthy C-section delivery.
