Management of venous leg ulcers by compression therapy
No full textVenous disease is a component of approximately 70% of leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers can be treated with compression therapy using different bandaging techniques, as discussed in this article by Alison Finnie

Hydrocolloids in wound management: pros and cons
No full textHydrocolloids are interactive dressings which are well established in wound management. Because of their sophisticated composition, they can be used to manage a variety of wound types, from clean and granulating to sloughy and necrotic. While they may be more expensive per item than many other modern dressings, if used correctly they can be cost-effective, as they have a longer wear time. Hydrocolloid formulations appear to be changing and improving with ongoing research by manufacturers, but a significant limitation appears to be sensitivity reactions. Dressings that would benefit from improvement are those containing gelatin, and those containing colophony within the adhesive matrix. These known sensitizers are largely unpublicized, but can produce serious side-effects in some individuals
Bandages and bandaging techniques for compression therapy
No full textBandaging skills are essential for community nurses not only as a method of supporting joints, or retaining a dressing, but as an important treatment of leg ulceration. It is important to be able to choose the correct type, size, and composition of bandage and then apply it safely using the most appropriate technique as incorrectly applied bandages may lead to pressure necrosis and subsequent limb amputation. Bandaging applications have changed little over the last 100years and the two most commonly used techniques are still the spiral and the figure-of-eight methods. There are advantages and disadvantages of both, and successful bandaging depends on choosing the correct product, and good technique, both in stretching the bandage to the correct tension, and ensuring proper overlap between layers
