Evidence Summary: Venous leg ulcers: Multi-layer compression bandaging

Emily Haesler

Abstract

Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are ulcers that occur on the lower leg due to venous disease. Compression therapy is recognised as gold standard treatment for promoting healing of VLUs.1, 2 The best available evidence indicates that a multi-layer bandaging system that incorporates an elastic bandage is one of the most effective compression therapy types for healing VLUs2-13 (Level 1).
