Non-Healing Wounds
Advanced Wound Care That Heals at the Source
Pulse Wound Care Services provides comprehensive wound care. We provide expert evaluation and treatment for wounds regardless of wound location, with comprehensive, patient centered care.
Our vascular-first approach to lower extremity wounds combines advanced wound care with vascular evaluation and, when clinically indicated, treatment of underlying circulation issues to support healing and recovery.
Causes
- Poor circulation (peripheral arterial disease)
- Diabetes
- Infection
- Pressure or immobilityWhen blood flow is limited, the body cannot deliver oxygen and nutrients needed for healing.
Conditions
- Arterial, venous, and diabetic ulcers
- Pressure injuries
- Chronic surgical wounds
- Infected wounds
- Autoimmune and inflammatory skin conditions

Frequently Asked Questions About Wound Care
What is considered a non-healing wound?
A wound that does not improve within 2–4 weeks or fails to heal after several weeks of treatment may be considered non-healing or chronic.
When should I see a wound care specialist?
You should seek specialized care if:
- A wound is not improving
- There is increasing pain, redness, or drainage
- You have diabetes or poor circulation
Can poor circulation cause wounds not to heal?
Yes. Poor blood flow is one of the most common reasons wounds fail to heal in the legs and feet.
Do all wounds require vascular evaluation?
Not all—but many individuals with chronic lower extremity wounds benefit from a vascular assessment.
Is wound care painful?
Most treatments are designed to minimize discomfort, and your care team will prioritize comfort throughout your treatment plan.
Seek immediate medical care for severe or rapidly worsening pain, spreading redness, fever, foul-smelling drainage, black tissue, or sudden changes in the color or temperature of the affected limb.
