Making the case: Woundexpress

Supported by Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd
12 August 2020

WoundExpress (Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd) is an advanced wound therapy proven to contribute to the healing of hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers (VLUs). Therapy is delivered via a unique intermittent pneumatic compression device, which is applied to the thigh of the ulcerated limb, away from the actual wound site. Used as an adjunct to standard wound treatment, WoundExpress is applied and managed by patients themselves, in their own homes. The therapy has been demonstrated to elicit improved venous and arterial blood flow at the wound site (Morris et al, 2020); two hours of daily use has resulted in significant reductions in both wound size and wound-related pain (Naik et al, 2019; Ivins et al, 2020) with concomitant improved quality of life for patients and cost savings for health care providers.
