Abstract:
The French National Authority for Health has recalled recommendations for the use of compression in the treatment of venous or venous/arterial leg ulcers. Different types of bandages and compression stockings must be used. The pressure to be achieved is between 30 and 40 mm Hg at the ankle (and below 30 mm Hg in case of mixed ulcers). In daily practice, beyond these recommendations, the choice of type of compression must also take into account the size of the ulcer, the appearance of the wound, the existence of leg dysmorphia, the volume of the oedema and also the general condition of the patient.
