Not all wounds are created equal, and understanding why a wound occurs is just as important as treating it.
Arterial and venous wounds differ in cause, appearance, and management, and misdiagnosis can significantly delay healing or even lead to serious complications.
Arterial wounds are caused by poor blood supply, often presenting as painful, dry, and necrotic lesions. On the other hand, venous wounds result from impaired blood return, typically appearing as moist, exudative ulcers with surrounding skin changes.
Because of these differences, treatment approaches vary greatly, from improving circulation to managing venous pressure and edema.
At Vertex Wound Specialists, we focus on accurate assessment and targeted care, ensuring that each wound is managed based on its underlying cause, not just its appearance.
