ORGANIZED APPROACH TO WOUND CARE
1. Is there adequate perfusion
and/or oxygenation?
2. Is non-viable tissue present?
3. Are signs/symptoms of infection and/or inflammation present?
4. Is offloading or pressure relief appropriate?
5. Is edema controlled?
6. Is tissue growth optimized?
7. Is the wound microenvironment
conducive to healing?
8. Is pain controlled?
9. Are host factors optimized?

COMPRESSION THERAPY
• Application of pressure to the lower extremities.
• Recognized treatment of choice for venous leg ulcers.
• Systems include hose, tubular bandages, bungee systems, and bandage systems of two or morecomponents.
• These systems aim to provide graduated compression to the lower limb in order to improve venous return and to reduce edema.

PURPOSE OF COMPRESSION
1. Counteract the force of gravity and promote
the normal flow of venous blood up the leg
2. Acts on the venous and lymphatic systems to
improve venous and lymph return and reduce
edema
3. Causes narrowing of the superficial veins

WHAT IS ADAQUATE COMPRESSION
Overcomes intravenous pressure
Exerts a sub-bandage resting pressure that is well tolerated in a resting position
Provides a pressure increase when the patient
rises to a standing position: (50-70mmHG)
Provides external compression improving venousreflux during walking
