title: Comparison of two devices for wound measurement.
abstract: Sixty leg ulcers were measured with two techniques, a common paper tape measure and a new technique, a plastic grid device. The plastic grid proved to be a reliable, valid, and feasible method to quickly assess wounds in a busy outpatient setting. The grid was superior to the tape measure in assessing large and/or irregular ulcers.
