Abstract
Venous leg ulcers remain a major public health issue with significant economic impact. Two main components of the management of patients with venous leg ulcers are compression therapy and wound care. This article addresses principles and specific aspects of compression therapy and focal wound care for patients with venous leg ulcers.
