  • Title: The difficulty and the solution of compression therapy in a healed venous leg ulcer.
    Author: Hampton S.
    Journal: Br J Community Nurs; 2016 Sep; 21 Suppl 9():S34-8. PubMed ID: 27594312.
    Abstract:
    Continuing preventative treatment once a venous ulcer is healed is fraught with dangers, with the most common problem being the inability of the wearer or their carer to apply compression therapy. A new novel compression modality has been introduced to solve the dilemma of applying compression once an injury has healed. This compression is also time-saving for practitioners who wish to heal leg ulcers. This will have an impact on the time restrictions of practice and district nurses-who have a 10-15 minute slot to dress and bandage their patients' venous ulcers.
