At Sonoran Vein and Endovascular we know that coping with non-healing wounds can be both frustrating and time consuming. A chronic wound or ulcer that does not heal within four weeks’ time frame, despite adequate management, may require advanced care with our outpatient program. The wound care specialist at Sonoran focus on using patient evaluations to determine the treatment that will be most effective for you and your condition. Saving patients from unnecessary or avoidable lower limb amputations is our mission! Services offered include testing, treatments, and follow-up care for patients with limb-threatening conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, advanced peripheral vascular disease, acute infections, and deformities. Amputations related to the complications of peripheral vascular disease, or diabetes mellitus, are the most common cause of lower-extremity amputations. Approximately 50,000-60,000 major lower-extremity amputations are performed each year in the U.S. because of diabetes-related complications.
