Abstract

The application of external compression is known to be an effective treatment for venous ulcers and the skills required to provide adequate pressure depend on the type of compression to be applied. Holistic assessment of the patient, along with education of the practitioner, leads to safe application of compression bandages. Incorrectly applied bandages can cause an increase in the size of the ulcer and may lead to amputation if used on ischaemic limbs1.
