Ulcers as a result of underlying venous disease are the most common aetiology of leg ulceration.
A 2015 study found that there were at least 730,000 patients with leg ulcers in the UK1. This equates to 1.5% of the adult population having a leg ulcer1.
Leg ulcers cause loss of function and require long term care resulting in high financial burden. With the considerable variation in practice increase care costs and extending healing times2.
From Wound Management to Healing
Sometimes, we need to manage wounds to get them on the right trajectory. If wounds are deeper than 2cm, including undermining, consider using a Filler + an appropriate dressing from the Biatain® Portfolio. If a contact layer is required consider including Biatain® Contact.
