slow capillary refill

Explanation:
"In order to manage leg ulcers it must first be determined if the ulcers are ... with slow capillary refill, it points to arterial disease"
http://www.examiner.com/public-education-in-savannah/leg-ulc...

"Arterial ulcers will be painful and be on ischaemic feet (cool, slow capillary refill and absent pulses while neuropathic ulceration is often painless in an insensate "

I can't find any entries for "slow capillary fill" but loads come up with "refill", so I'm being swayed by sheer numbers.
