The effectiveness of compression therapy in the treatment of venous leg ulcers has been confirmed in many scientific studies. The healing process depends on many of its parameters, such as the type of compression bandages, their elastic properties and sub-bandage pressure. However, there is no standard protocol that would ensure success for all patients. A pressure of about 83 mmHg provides complete compression for both superficial and deep veins; however, applying compression bandages under such high pressure is a difficult task, even for experienced therapists. Here, we present the case of a 61-year-old woman with approximately 2.5-year-old venous ulcer in her left leg due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Our study aimed to show that routine pressure control at each bandage renewal using the Kikuhime device, as well as their twice daily application in the first week of therapy reduced the healing time of a venous leg ulcer with an area of about 20 cm to four weeks.
许多科学研究已经证实，压缩疗法在治疗静脉性腿部溃疡方面的有效性。愈合过程取决于许多参数，如压缩绷带的类型、弹性特性和亚绷带压力。然而，并没有一种标准的方案可以确保所有患者都能成功治愈。压力约为 83 毫米汞柱可为浅表和深部静脉提供完全压缩；然而，在如此高的压力下应用压缩绷带是一项艰巨的任务，即使对于经验丰富的治疗师也是如此。在这里，我们介绍了一位 61 岁女性的病例，她左腿患有慢性静脉功能不全（CVI）导致的约 2.5 岁静脉性溃疡。我们的研究旨在表明，使用 Kikuhime 设备在每次更换绷带时进行常规压力控制，并在治疗的第一周每天应用两次，可将面积约为 20 平方厘米的静脉性腿部溃疡的愈合时间缩短至四周。
