Arterial Wound Care at Home
Careful, Specialized Arterial Wound Management at Home
Arterial — or ischemic — wounds develop when poor arterial blood flow leaves tissue without enough oxygen, most often on the lower legs and feet. Because the underlying problem is circulation, these wounds heal slowly and need careful, attentive handling by clinicians who understand them.
Our licensed clinicians provide protective wound care in your home and watch closely for any change. Just as important, we coordinate continuously with your physician and vascular team, since arterial wounds require careful clinical management of the circulation that drives healing.
Arterial Wound FAQs
What are arterial wounds?
Arterial (ischemic) wounds develop when reduced arterial blood flow deprives tissue of oxygen and nutrients, often on the lower legs and feet. Because circulation is impaired, these wounds heal slowly and require careful clinical management.
How is arterial wound care different from other wound care?
Arterial wounds must be handled cautiously, with protective dressings and close monitoring, while the underlying circulation issue is managed by your physician and vascular team. Our clinicians focus on protecting the wound, watching for infection, and keeping you comfortable.
Does Medicare cover in-home arterial wound care?
We accept Medicare and most insurance plans. Coverage depends on your plan and clinical need, and we review it with you before care begins.
