title: Case 8: extremely painful, locally infected venous leg ulcer.
abstract: This ulcer was so painful that the young patient concerned was unable to tolerate antimicrobial dressings and compression therapy. A treatment regimen including octenilin Wound Gel helped reduce the pain, giving the patient more control over her life. The wound healed after 6 months.
