Abstract
Chronic venous insufficiency affects the productivity and well-being of millions of people worldwide and is the most common cause of leg ulcers. Treatment of leg ulcers accounts for 22% of district nurses' time and places a major financial burden on NHS resources. Compression bandaging has been recognized as the optimum approach for venous ulcers but is not always applied effectively. It is also costly and may lead to non-compliance. Compression hosiery is an alternative treatment approach. Review of relevant research shows JOBST UlcerCARE to be an effective treatment that is easy to apply, thereby maintaining patient independence. It also provides a major potential for cost savings to the NHS.
