Why we need to unwrap compression
Most venous leg ulcers should be healed within 12 weeks1
but 63% remain unhealed at 12 months2
“Compression wraps may be considered when other forms of strong compression are unsuitable or not tolerated.” 3
NICE LSA
Delayed healing
Increases infection risk, worsens QoL and drives up costs. VenUS-6 results revealed here.
VenUS 6 Validates 2-layer
VenUS-6 proves 2-layer equivalent to 4-layer and heals faster than compression wraps.
NICE LSA Evidence
Wraps NOT recommended first-line. Premium pricing NOT justified by evidence.
Evidence-based pathway
Assessment first, then format. Read NICE LSA Recommendations for Practice.
