ULCER X
HEAL YOUR PATIENTS’ ULCERS FASTER
HEAL YOUR PATIENTS' ULCERS FASTER
When healing a venous leg ulcer, the treatment choice has traditionally been rm, non-elastic bandages. However, a recent study conducted in Italy at the University of Siena and the University of Ferrara has determined a more e ective treatment: The SIGVARIS ULCER X Kit.
As part of the SIGVARIS Medical Therapy collection, the ULCER X Kit provides a therapeutic solution with a 96.2% healing rate for venous ulcers (versus 70 % for bandages). With half the healing time as the bandage alternative for ulcers up to 4cm in diameter, and noticeably less pain and discomfort than the traditional solution, the SIGVARIS ULCER X Kit is the ideal answer to your patients’ needs.
STUDY METHODOLOGY:
• Multi-centre randomised trial with 60 patients
• Treated with either short stretch multi-layer bandages or a two-stocking system (SIGVARIS ULCER X Kit)
• Patient characteristics and ulcer features were evenly distributed
For information on the Ulcer X Kit please contact Jo Curran jo.curran@uslmedical.co.nz
*Conditions apply
• Proportion of ulcers healed within 4 months and the time to completion of healing were recorded
• Subjective appraisal was assessed with validated questionnaire
* Healing time was equal to bandages for ulcers greater than 4cm
