  • Pressure ulcers
  • Vasculitic ulcers (leg)
  • Nonhealing surgical wounds
  • Chronic wounds
  • Venous stasis ulcers (ulcers and skin damage due to malfunctioning veins)
  • Traumatic wounds
Not all treatments, tests and services are available at all Mayo Clinic Health System locations. Check with your preferred location in advance.
