What is a venous skin ulcer and how is it treated?
A venous skin ulcer is an open wound that typically develops on the
lower leg and can take months to heal. Wearing compression stockings is
the single most effective way of controlling the painful fluid buildup
and pooling of blood in the lower legs that cause venous skin ulcers.
As a preventative measure, you can greatly improve your chances of
remaining ulcer-free by wearing compression stockings on a daily basis.
Most UlcerCare systems consist of two parts. An inner light
compression liner is donned first to cover and protect the bandaging on
an active ulcer and also to prevent abrasions from the higher
compression outer garment rubbing against sensitive, ulcer-prone skin.
The UlcerCare Management systems that we sell include at least one
liner. We also sell packs of liners which you may need. It is
important to clean and change the inner liner as needed, but at least
daily. The outer garment is usually 40mmHg in compression and is
sometimes offered with a zipper to help don the stocking without it
rubbing directly against sensitive skin.
Includes at least 1 liner and 1 outer compression stocking

Light compression liner stocking holds dressing in place, helps the
outer compression stocking to slide on easier and can be worn day and
night
