Pressure & Diabetic wounds

Diabetic ulcers may look similar to pressure ulcers; however, it is important to note that they are not the same thing. As the name may imply, diabetic ulcers arise on individuals who have diabetes, and the foot is one of the most common areas affected by these skin sores.

Wound grafting

Is a procedure that uses tissue from the placenta or other pregnancy-related tissues to help wounds heal. The graft can be a thin sheet of tissue or an injectable liquid that contains cells and substances that help the body repair itself. When applied to the skin, the graft surrounds and protects damaged tissue and provides a scaffold for the body to create repair cells

Arterial vs venous ulcers

Arterial wounds, caused by a lack of blood circulation. Blocked arteries contribute to arterial ulcers by preventing blood from flowing to the lower extremities. Deprived of the nutrients and oxygen that blood delivers, an open wound may appear.
