Compression therapy is the single most important intervention for a venous ulcer — and the hardest to keep consistent in a hot climate. We build layered plans you can actually wear in Fort Lauderdale summers, and we change them at home.
Two-layer, four-layer, or short-stretch — chosen for skin tolerance, edema pattern, and how much heat you can tolerate. We swap systems as seasons change.
High-absorbency foams and super-absorbents sized for real Florida humidity, so dressings last between visits.
Venous skin changes — eczema, hemosiderin staining, weeping — treated alongside the ulcer, not as an afterthought.
We loop in vascular surgery and mobile ABI testing when arterial disease is suspected, before we compress.
Call Palm Wound Care when any of these are true. Early visits are faster visits — and usually cheaper for everyone.
Yes — we set up a wrap-and-cover routine so you can shower between visits. Many of our patients find it easier than the old clinic wrap-and-rewrap cycle.
Properly sized compression should feel snug and supportive, not painful. If it hurts, call us — usually it means the wrap is off or the underlying problem is more arterial than venous.
Most uncomplicated venous ulcers close in 12–24 weeks with consistent compression. Longer-standing wounds take longer — but consistency at home is the single biggest driver.
