Summary

Current treatment modalities for chronic leg ulcers are time consuming, expensive, and only moderately successful. Recent data suggest that creating a sub-atmospheric pressure by Vacuum Assisted Closure (V.A.C.®) therapy supports the wound healing process. Here, we studied the efficacy of V.A.C.® in the treatment of chronic leg ulcers prospectively.
