Venous Ulcers
Venous ulcers are believed to account for 70% to 90% of all chronic leg ulcers. These ulcers can be difficult to heal. The chance of acquiring a venous ulcer increases with age. Women are three times more likely than men to develop venous leg ulcers. In some studies, 50% of patients had venous ulcers that persisted for more than 9 months, and 20% had ulcers that didn't heal for more than 2 years. After healing, more than 60% of the patients experienced a recurrence of venous ulcers.

Unna Boot Dressing Story
The Unna Boot dressing was invented from a German Dermatologist named Paul Gerson Unna. Unna boot dressings are a compression bandage used to manage edema and promote the return of venous blood flow to the heart. Conventional management with zinc oxide-impregnated bandages systems, such as an Unna boot, provides inelastic compression. Multilayered, sustained, graduated, high- compression bandages aid in the management of wounds caused by venous insufficiency.
