Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Compression therapy is widely accepted as the corner-stone of venous leg ulceration treatment and often has a dramatic effect on outcome, with patients reporting reduced pain and improved mobility and improved quality of life as a result of ulcer healing. The present study has been done to evaluate the efficacy and safety of four layer compression bandage in comparison to short stretch compression bandage for healing of venous ulcer. The study was done in 40 patients of venous ulcer divided in two groups of 20 each by draw of ballots. Group A was treated with four layer compression bandage and Group B patients were treated with single layer short stretch bandage. Level of exudates decreased and surrounding skin showed improvement in both the groups. At 12 weeks ulcers healed in 45% patients in four layer bandage group while healing was seen in 35 % patients in single layer group. It was observed that healing was better in ulcers with short duration and lesser size in both groups as compared to long standing and large size ulcers.
