Chronic Wound Care for Ischemic Wounds
Ischemic Wounds
Ischemic wounds are any wound that isn’t getting enough blood supply. The limited blood supply also means that an area isn’t being oxygenated properly and is not getting enough nutrients for a healthy healing process.
Some common signs and symptoms of ischemic wounds include a weakened pulse which can cause the area to become pale and even cold.
Aside from causing pain, they can lead to permanent skin and tissue damage.
