Non-Diabetic Ulcer Clinic
Chronic wounds are not only a diabetic problem. We treat venous, arterial, pressure, traumatic and other complex ulcers — finding the cause and healing the wound.
Venous Leg Ulcers
Venous leg ulcers are slow-healing wounds, usually on the lower leg or ankle, caused by poor return of blood through the veins. They are the most common type of leg ulcer.

Arterial ulcers form when narrowed or blocked arteries starve the lower leg and foot of blood. They are painful, slow to heal, and a warning sign of peripheral artery disease.

Vasculitic ulcers are caused by inflammation of the small blood vessels, often linked to autoimmune or connective tissue disease. They can appear suddenly and are frequently very painful.

Pressure ulcers form where sustained pressure cuts off blood supply to the skin, usually over bony areas in people who are bedbound or use a wheelchair. They can deepen quickly if not relieved.

Wounds from accidents, crush injuries or trauma can fail to heal when blood supply, infection or tissue damage get in the way. These chronic traumatic wounds need active management to close.

Sometimes a surgical wound reopens or fails to heal — known as wound dehiscence. These need prompt, specialist care to prevent infection and achieve closure.

Radiation therapy and some cancers can cause wounds that are slow to heal because the surrounding tissue and blood supply are damaged. These need specialised, gentle wound care.

Long-standing swelling from lymphedema can stretch and break down the skin, leading to weeping wounds and recurrent infection. Managing the swelling is central to healing them.
