Summary

A prospective, Phase II, stratified, randomized study to compare the safety, ulcer healing, patient compliance (concordance) and resource utilisation of a compression device with IPC mode to a Class 3(c) UK standard graduated compression regime (4- layer system) on subjects with venous leg ulcers.

Conditions

  • Leg Ulcers

Interventions

DEVICE

Compression Device

Subjects randomized to the compression device regime were instructed to wear the compression device for all wakings hours for 12 weeks. The device was applied at the following pressures: Foot 40 mmHg, ankle 40 mmHg, mid-calf 30 mmHg, upper cuff 20 mmHg. Subjects were instructed to wear the Intermittent Pneumatic Compression for 2 hours per day.

DEVICE

Profore

Subjects randomised to the 4-layer compression bandage regime, Profore, were to wear the bandage system for 24 hours a day and bandage applications/dressing changes were to be performed by a trained health care professional. Four different sizes of Profore were available and size selection was based on measurement of the ankle circumference of the subject on the index leg. Profore was to be used according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer described in their package insert.
