A common type of PVD is venous insufficiency, which occurs when the valves in the leg veins don't shut properly during blood's return to the heart. As a result, blood flows backward and pools in the veins.
Venous ulcers are leg ulcers caused by problems with blood flow (circulation) in your leg veins. Normally, when you get a cut or scrape, your body's healing process starts working to close the wound. In time, the wound heals.
Venous ulcers usually form below the knee and on the inner area of the ankle. There's sometimes little or no discomfort, unless the ulcer is infected. In other cases, venous ulcers can be painful.
The term “non-pressure ulcer” was coined to designate a primary mechanism other than shear or pressure. If there is poor circulation, such as that caused by venous or arterial insufficiency or excessive moisture or trauma, a patient may develop a non-pressure ulcer.
