title: Wounds and dressings.
abstract: Venous leg ulcers are the most common type of lower limb ulceration. Compression therapy combined with the use of appropriate dressings remain the gold standard for the management of venous ulcers. Although a wide range of wound dressings is available, the management of venous leg ulcers is primarily dependent on a careful assessment of the patient, the wound, and the effectiveness of the treatment.
