Abstract

The majority of lower leg ulceration has a venous component. Compression therapy is the "Gold Standard" to reverse venous hypertension and heal venous ulceration. Over recent years, new compression systems have evolved which means greater choice for patients. This describes venous disease and assessment and treatment choices. Case studies are also presented.
