Venous Leg ulcers occur when the venous valves that prevent backflow of blood in veins do not function properly. These chronic wounds usually form in the medial distal area of the legs and are often called leg ulcers.
Effective management of chronic ulcers involves the assessment of both the ulcer and the patient. The essential requirements of management are to debride the ulcer with appropriate precautions, choose dressings that maintain adequate moisture balance, apply graduated compression bandage after evaluation of the arterial circulation and address the patient’s concerns, such as pain and offensive wound discharge.
Collagen particle dressing allows better contact with the wound bed and offers excellent bioavailability. These thus promote granulation from within. It is easy to apply and promotes healthy granulation in deep venous leg ulcers faster. The collagen particle with higher surface area make better contact with wound bed and it is 100 % bio-absorbable.
Hydrogel Dressing aids in the autolytic debridement of venous leg ulcers, while maintaining optimal moisture levels at the wound site. It also promotes rehydration of dry wounds and eschar.
Silver Hydrogel with Nano silver particles prevents infection and also helps in maintaining a moist wound environment conducive for healing. This is a regular / daily changed dressing.
