The use of compression hosiery requires adequate knowledge on the part of the practitioner to
enable the selection of appropriate products, and a working partnership with patients to promote
concordance with treatment. A Best Practice Statement has been developed which sets out a number
of key statements in order to guide the practitioner to the most appropriate compression hosiery
products when preventing the occurrence and recurrence of venous leg ulcers. Here, an overview of
the Best Practice Statement is given. |
