She is proficient in treating many common types of wounds including:

She also has extensive experience treating pressure ulcers, calciphylaxis wounds, lipodermatosclerosis and atypical wounds.

Compression Garments and Devices

Chronic uncontrolled leg swelling whether due to venous disease or lymphedema is lifestyle limiting, painful, and can lead to further complications including ulcers and infection. Finding the appropriate type of compression that is both effective and user friendly is challenging. Often patients are perceived to be non-compliant when, in fact, they have not been exposed to the variety of modalities available. Maintaining adequate compression after a venous stasis ulcer is healed is essential for controlling swelling and prolonging the ulcer free interval. At AVC we are proud to offer the following.

• Proper measuring for off the shelf compression hose. We maintain an assorted stock in house for the convenience of our patients

• Detailed measuring and ordering of custom hose for difficult to fit or atypical shaped limbs

• Fitting and ordering of specialty compression garments such as velcro wraps

• Evaluation for pneumatic compression pumps for long term management of swelling
