Summary

The importance of wearing medical compression to heal the venous ulcer has already been shown. However, no studies have been carried out on variations in medical compression tape and their impact on interface pressures which explains the lack of consensus on how to lay, including or not to include the heel. Studies on adherence to patients with medical compression have been carried out showing that one of the determining factors is comfort. The investigators therefore wish to conduct a randomized open prospective quantitative study comparing these two modes: including or not the heel .
