MOBILE WOUND CARE · VENOUS & ARTERIAL ULCERS
In-home venous & arterial ulcer care in Denton & Cooke County
Leg and foot ulcers caused by poor circulation can be slow to heal and hard to travel with. Dr. David J. Barber, DPM brings advanced venous and arterial ulcer care directly to your home across Denton County and Cooke County — an outpatient wound clinic that comes to you.
What are venous and arterial ulcers?
Both are circulation-related wounds of the lower leg, but they have different causes. Venous ulcers happen when the veins struggle to return blood from the legs to the heart, causing pressure, swelling, and shallow, slow-healing sores — usually around the ankle. Arterial ulcers develop when narrowed or blocked arteries limit blood and oxygen reaching the tissue, creating painful, deeper wounds, often on the toes, heels, or outer foot.
Getting the diagnosis right matters, because venous and arterial ulcers are treated very differently — and some patients have a mix of both.
Signs to watch for
Contact us if you notice any of these on the lower leg or foot:
- A sore or ulcer that won’t heal after a few weeks
- Swelling, aching, or heaviness around the ankle (venous)
- Painful wounds on the toes or heel, worse when the leg is raised (arterial)
- Skin that looks discolored, shiny, cool, or pale
- Drainage, odor, or signs of infection
How Dr. Barber treats them — at your home
Dr. Barber brings a full mobile wound clinic to your bedside, including vascular testing and advanced tools most home visits can’t offer:
- Vascular testing (Smart ABI & TCOM) to measure blood flow and tissue oxygen
- Portable X-ray to quickly rule out bone infection
- Pain-free ultrasound debridement, safe even with poor circulation
- Compression strategies for venous ulcers
- Topical oxygen therapy for stubborn, hard-to-heal wounds
- Coordination with your existing home-health plan
Care that comes to you
Many patients with leg ulcers are too ill or immobile to travel to a clinic. Dr. Barber’s mobile service treats wounds below the knee in the comfort of your home or care facility throughout Denton County and Cooke County — complementing, not replacing, your existing home health care.
