Overview
What Is Vascular Evaluation for Diabetic Wounds?
Many serious foot problems are connected to circulation. Wigley Feet coordinates vascular evaluation for non-healing wounds, diabetic ulcers, and circulation-related foot concerns, helping identify patients who may need vascular evaluation before wounds worsen or limb risk increases. Vascular services are coordinated through a cooperative partnership with a local vascular group.
