Wound Care: Venous Leg Ulcer Management

Venous leg ulcers represent the most severe manifestation of venous hypertension. Effective treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, promoting wound healing, and preventing recurrence.

Join Dr. William Marston and Dr. Paul Gagne as they examine a patient with a non-healing ulcer for 12 years.

Live venous ultrasound will be performed to assess the prior venous interventions.

Learn about the most current options for management of the wound:

  • Medtronic
  • Compression Therapy
  • Wound Dressings
  • Debridement
  • Topical Treatments
  • Lifestyle Modifications
  • Nutritional Support
  • Vascular Interventions
  • Education and Follow-up

Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your wound care and provide the highest standard of care to your patients.

Sessions are limited to 30 Participants.
