Summary

This study looked at whether a special interactive dressing (UrgoStart Plus) used with compression bandages can help heal venous leg ulcers faster than standard dressings. Sixty adults with chronic leg ulcers were treated for up to 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the new dressing leads to complete healing and improves quality of life.
