Abstract
Leg ulcers pose a significant challenge to healthcare services, requiring effective wound cleansing strategies to promote healing and prevent complications. Large amounts of nursing time is spent managing patients with venous leg ulcers (VLUs), with an average appointment time of approximately 30 minutes. Yet, there is a lack of clear guidance for the treatment of VLUs, with nurses adopting a wide range of cleansing practices. This commentary provides an overview of existing evidence on wound cleansing and care in treating leg ulcers, for the benefit of healthcare professionals working within clinical practice.
