Vascular disease of the vein affects millions of people and is often a factor in the development of chronic, non-healing wounds. Including peripheral artery disease (PAD), it contributes to 80 percent of all non-traumatic limb amputations each year. That is why the Wound Healing Center at Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital is committed to providing a more comprehensive care experience for patients living with vascular disease and chronic wounds. Vein care is especially important for patients with limited mobility or transportation issues.

Our program offers advanced, minimally invasive laser treatment in an outpatient setting. Better treatment will give many patients with venous leg ulcers the ability to heal faster and may even prevent future ulcers.

Vein care includes:

• Venous reflux screening
• Endovenous laser treatment
• Duplex ultrasound
