Why is it important to use compression therapy in leg ulcer management? 🦵‍⚕️‍👨‍⚕️

🔹 The therapy is simple to use and makes a significant difference for the patient.
🔹 It is multifunctional - and addresses many of the risks of complications related to ulcers on the lower legs.
🔹 The therapy reduces venous hypertension, it has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces pain and exudation, reduces skin problems and oedema, and reduces healing time and re-occurrence.
🔹 It is easily adapted and improves patients’ lives.

𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁…

compression therapy is a powerful evidence-based treatment to speed up healing in most lower leg wounds, which most patients would benefit from 🦵‍⚕️‍👨‍⚕️

The Compression Therapy Campaign has been developed by EWMA in collaboration with several national organisations with the aim of sharing knowledge about this effective therapy and how to use it.

We believe that compression therapy should be used and understood by nurses, doctors and allied health professionals. Unfortunately, many are not updated about best practice and evidence. This may lead to patient harm that could be avoided. You can help us change this by sharing EWMA’s campaign materials with health care professionals with limited specialisation in wound management.
