Compression Therapy for Venous Leg Ulcers
A large number of patients with vein reflux disease suffers from leg ulcers. In the United States, it is estimated that up to two million people suffer from venous ulcers which are the most common chronic wounds treated in wound care centers. These venous ulcers have a high recurrence rate, meaning that they often return even after having been healed. The reason for such high recurrence rate is that conventional treatments such as the use of compression therapy for leg ulcers, antibiotics, and salves have a high failure rates.
How We Treat Venous Ulcers
The underlying reason of venous ulcers is venous insufficiency in superficial veins and perforator veins. This venous insufficiency is caused by vein disease. In order to completely heal a venous ulcer and prevent it from returning, incompetent veins need to be treated by an experienced vein specialist. When carefully evaluated and properly diagnosed, patients with venous ulcers can have their perforator veins treated with the VNUS ClosureRFS stylet. This procedure offers you a minimally-invasive option to traditional surgery for the venous ulcers on your legs.
