Mobile Wound Care for People with Venous Leg Ulcers
Expert Mobile Care for Venous Leg Ulcers
Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are chronic wounds caused by poor blood flow in the veins of the legs. At Agape Life Multicultural Services (ALMSPllc), our board-certified wound care specialists deliver hospital-grade treatment directly to your home or facility helping prevent infection, reduce hospitalizations and promote faster healing across TX, AZ, LA, TN, AR and CO.
What Are Venous Leg Ulcers?
Venous leg ulcers are open wounds that typically develop on the lower legs due to venous insufficiency, where veins cannot properly return blood to the heart. This causes blood to pool, increasing pressure and leading to skin breakdown.
Patients at higher risk include those who:
-
Have chronic venous insufficiency
-
Experience frequent swelling or varicose veins
-
Are immobile or have limited activity
-
Have a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
-
Without specialized care, VLUs can become chronic, painful and difficult to heal.
Why Treatment Matters
Untreated or poorly managed venous leg ulcers can lead to:
-
Persistent pain and swelling
-
Chronic infection or cellulitis
-
Skin discoloration and thickening
-
Prolonged immobility or loss of independence
-
Increased risk of hospitalization
Early, structured wound care improves healing, reduces complications and enhances patient quality of life.
Signs & Descriptions of Venous Leg Ulcers
Recognizing VLUs early is critical:
-
Shallow, irregularly shaped wounds on the lower legs
-
Red, brown or purplish discoloration around the ulcer
-
Swelling or edema in the lower leg or ankle
-
Drainage, odor or crusting
-
Itching, burning or discomfort
