Leg and Foot Ulcer Treatment in Indiana and Illinois

Ulcers are open sores or wounds that heal slowly or continue to return. Leg and foot ulcers can often be painful; other symptoms include open sores, pus and pain, swelling, and generalized pain in the affected limbs. Seeking appropriate leg and foot ulcer treatment early can help promote healing, manage symptoms, and reduce the risk of complications.

Ulcers are often the result of poor circulation. People with diabetes are at particular risk; left untreated, diabetic foot ulcers can often necessitate amputation. Heart disease, high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure and kidney disease will also put people at additional risk.

At NG Vascular & Vein Center, our goal is limb preservation and amputation prevention. We have significant experience and tools to open those clogged blood vessels to help heal those sores and wounds on your feet. In addition, we can care for wounds on the legs and feet that have not healed properly or are healing too slowly.

Advanced Wound Care at NG Vascular

Patients with critical limb ischemia resulting from peripheral vascular disease or diabetes may require not only endovascular treatment to restore blood flow, but care for wounds on their legs and feet that have not healed properly or are healing too slowly.
NG Vascular offers advanced wound care services including:

Debridement

This is the process of removing damaged or infected tissue from a wound to promote healing and lower the risk of injection. Using techniques like mechanical, chemical and autolytic debridement, we remove the unhealthy tissue that can hinder the healing process.

Wound grafts

We offer minimally invasive wound grafts to help heal wounds with less discomfort and scarring than surgical wound grafts. Epidermal skin grafts (ESGs) harvest only the epidermal layer of skin, requiring no anesthesia and resulting in minimally scarring at the donor site.

Pulse ultrasonic therapy

This non-invasive method uses ultrasound waves, delivered in timed pulses, to stimulate cellular activity and increase blood flow to the wound site. This helps promote and accelerate wound healing by enhancing tissue regeneration and is often used with chronic or difficult-to-heal wounds like diabetic ulcers.
