Understanding venous leg ulcers.
How do venous leg ulcers develop? Venous insufficiency is the most common underlying cause of a venous leg ulcer. The compromised blood flow to the heart is mainly caused by venous valve incompetence. The resulting reflux leads to an ambulatory venous hypertension which also extends into the capillaries.
As a consequence, nutrients and oxygen are unable to diffuse to the skin, causing death of skin tissue and the development of a venous leg ulcer. Compression can be considered the cornerstone in the therapy of venous leg ulcers. As indicated by numerous studies*, adequate compression supports venous flow and shows significant effects on deep venous haemodynamics – ultimately providing large improvements in pain, mobility and general quality of life for the patient.
Compression and stiffness factor: Adequate compression is necessary when venous flow is impaired. As venous valves are compromised, a sustained compression of 40 mmHg* or more at the ankle is the recommended pressure to support venous return. At this point, the specific stiffness of a compression device becomes a crucial factor. The higher the stiffness, the higher the working pressure and the effect of the muscle pump. Compression provides the best conditions to heal the ulcer: the subsequent reduction of the local blood volume leads to lower venous reflux and the reduction of ambulatory venous hypertension. . Continuous pressure exerted onto the body from the outside with the muscles at rest, is called “resting pressure”. “Working pressure” is exerted temporarily from inside outwards as the muscles are working and the diameter of the body part increases. 80% of venous leg ulcers are located inside the lower extremity.
JOBST® UlcerCARE™ enables effective management of a venous leg ulcer while offering ease of use at the same time – the perfect combination for providing high quality of life. The special design of the outer stocking’s pattern provides more friction to the liner, enhancing the system’s stiffness.
