Comparison of the Effectiveness of Two Medical Compression Bandage Application Techniques by Measuring Interface Pressures Depending on Whether or Not the Heel is Included in Patients With Open Venous Ulcers

France102 participantsStarted 2019-10-11

Plain-language summary

The importance of wearing medical compression to heal the venous ulcer has already been shown. However, no studies have been carried out on variations in medical compression tape and their impact on interface pressures which explains the lack of consensus on how to lay, including or not to include the heel. Studies on adherence to patients with medical compression have been carried out showing that one of the determining factors is comfort. The investigators therefore wish to conduct a randomized open prospective quantitative study comparing these two modes: including or not the heel .

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients over 18 years old * Patient with at least one venous ulcer progressing for at least 4 weeks * Patient coming for a specialized outpatient consultation called "vascular wound" at Nantes University Hospital * Informed consent to participate in the study * Social security insurance affiliation Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under guardianship * Patient with major cognitive disorders incompatible with follow-up of protocol * Pregnancy * Patient with an open leg ulcer with a Systolic Pressure Index \< 0.8

What they're measuring

Interface Pressure at V3

Timeframe: At V3 (i.e. between 4 to 8 weeks): 48h after the final bandagin (which occurs at V2)
