Chronic Wound Care
Non-Diabetic Ulcer Clinic
Chronic wounds are not only a diabetic problem. We treat venous, arterial, pressure, traumatic and other complex ulcers — finding the cause and healing the wound.
Non-Healing Ulcer Treatment in India
Non-healing ulcer treatment in India means finding why a chronic wound won't close — whether it is venous, arterial, pressure, or another type — and treating both the wound and its underlying cause. At EDFC's ulcer clinic, Dr. Ashutosh Shah's team treats wounds of every origin, not only those caused by diabetes.
Why an ulcer won't heal
A wound becomes a chronic, non-healing ulcer when something prevents normal healing most often poor circulation, sustained pressure, infection, an underlying disease, or past treatment such as surgery or radiation. The key to healing is diagnosing the cause, because a venous ulcer, an arterial ulcer, and a pressure sore each need very different treatment.
As Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic, EDFC is a dedicated foot and ulcer service India's first chain built only for foot and wound care. Treatment is led by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery) across Surat (Gujarat) and Vizianagaram (Andhra Pradesh), who treats the wound directly and coordinates underlying causes with the right specialists.
When to see an ulcer specialist
- A wound that hasn't healed in two to four weeks
- An ulcer that keeps returning or is getting larger
- A painful or weeping leg ulcer
- A pressure sore in someone who is bedridden or immobile
- A wound after injury, surgery, or radiotherapy that won't close
When to seek care in India: any ulcer that isn't healing deserves assessment — the sooner the cause is found, the sooner it can heal. Spreading infection or black tissue is urgent.
Ulcer types we treat
Each is diagnosed and treated according to its cause:
- Venous Ulcers — from poor vein drainage; treated mainly with compression.
- Arterial (Ischemic) Ulcers — from poor blood supply; need circulation restored.
- Vasculitic Ulcers — from blood-vessel inflammation; need the underlying disease treated.
- Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores) — from sustained pressure; need offloading and wound care.
- Traumatic Ulcers — non-healing wounds after injury.
- Post-Surgical Ulcers — wounds that break down after surgery.
- Radiation / Cancer Ulcers — wounds in tissue damaged by radiotherapy.
- Lymphedema Ulcers — from chronic swelling; need decongestive care.

Ulcer types we treat
Venous Leg Ulcers
arrow_forwardVenous leg ulcers are slow-healing wounds, usually on the lower leg or ankle, caused by poor return of blood through the veins. They are the most common type of leg ulcer.
Arterial (Ischemic) Ulcers
arrow_forwardArterial ulcers form when narrowed or blocked arteries starve the lower leg and foot of blood. They are painful, slow to heal, and a warning sign of peripheral artery disease.
Vasculitic Ulcers
arrow_forwardVasculitic ulcers are caused by inflammation of the small blood vessels, often linked to autoimmune or connective tissue disease. They can appear suddenly and are frequently very painful.
Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores)
arrow_forwardPressure ulcers form where sustained pressure cuts off blood supply to the skin, usually over bony areas in people who are bedbound or use a wheelchair. They can deepen quickly if not relieved.
Traumatic & Non-Healing Wounds
arrow_forwardWounds from accidents, crush injuries or trauma can fail to heal when blood supply, infection or tissue damage get in the way. These chronic traumatic wounds need active management to close.
Post-Surgical (Non-Healing) Wounds
arrow_forwardSometimes a surgical wound reopens or fails to heal — known as wound dehiscence. These need prompt, specialist care to prevent infection and achieve closure.
Radiation & Malignant Wounds
arrow_forwardRadiation therapy and some cancers can cause wounds that are slow to heal because the surrounding tissue and blood supply are damaged. These need specialised, gentle wound care.
Lymphedema-Related Ulcers
arrow_forwardLong-standing swelling from lymphedema can stretch and break down the skin, leading to weeping wounds and recurrent infection. Managing the swelling is central to healing them.
