Compression therapy promotes the healing of venous leg ulcers (Ousey et al, 2021) and helps alleviate pain during the initial phase of treatment. Self-care solutions garments include:
- Hosiery
- Hosiery kits
- Adjustable compression wrap systems
Self-management and initial compression
Self-care solutions enable patients to be more involved in the treatment of their leg ulcer and/or underlying disease. If a patient is hesitant or finds it challenging to apply their compression garment, it’s important to understand the reasons why and ensure they are informed about alternative solutions and garments. To encourage engagement in
self-care, it’s imperative that each patient is provided with ongoing support and appropriate knowledge of their compression solutions.
