Abstract:
Compression hosiery is used to help prevent leg ulcer recurrence by controlling venous backflow and the build-up of lower-limb oedema. The therapy is effective, but only if it is worn consistently by patients. In order to promote concordance with ongoing management, it is important that practitioners are aware of the options available in terms of design, structure, colour and size of compression. It is also vital for practitioners to consider a range of strategies to help patients apply and remove the hosiery.
