title: Granulation in chronic leg ulcers. A trial with a new material.
abstract: Twenty-two patients with chronic ulcers of the lower limb were treated with 'Varihesive', a modified form of 'Stomahesive'. The results showed that granulation was stimulated by the dressing, and no side-effects were encountered. The treatment is considered to be a useful adjunct to routine supportive measures. I should like to thank E.R. Squibb & Sons for providing the material for this study.
