Compression Bandages

Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) account for approximately 70% of all lower limb ulcers and affect an estimated 0.032% to 1% of the population in Western countries, corresponding to approximately 265,000 to 650,000 individuals in France. Effective management of VLUs is essential to reduce patient burden and associated healthcare costs. Compression therapy is the cornerstone of VLU treatment , as it improves venous return, reduces oedema, and promotes wound healing. Multilayer compression bandage systems, including two-layer systems, are considered the gold standard, and in France, they are recommended as first-line treatment for VLUs. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the Mepi™ Press 2 compression system is non-inferior to UrgoK2® in the treatment of venous leg ulcers in adult patients. The main question it aims to answer is: -Is Mepi™ Press 2 non-inferior to UrgoK2® in terms of the proportion of completely healed VLUs within 12 weeks? Researchers will compare Mepi™ Press 2 with UrgoK2® to determine whether similar clinical efficacy, performance, and safety can be achieved. Participants are adult patients with venous leg ulcers of less than 24 months duration requiring treatment with a two-layer compression bandage system. The study is multicenter, involving approximately 25 sites in France, and plans to enroll 386 participants. Participants will: * Receive compression therapy with either Mepi™ Press 2 or UrgoK2® in accordance with standard of care * Receive an appropriate primary wound dressing prior to compression * Attend up to five study visits over a period of up to 12 weeks (or until wound healing, whichever occurs first) * Be assessed for wound healing, safety, and device performance throughout the study

The study aimed to assess the efficacy of customized pressure-guided elastic bandages (CPG-EB) in preventing postoperative edema and complications in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) patients. While compression therapy, like compressive stockings, has benefits in preventing edema, concerns about affordability persist. CPG-EB provides optimal sub-bandage pressure, proven effective in venous leg ulcers. Implementing CPG-EB post-CABG could enhance venous blood flow, reducing complications and improving outcomes. Patients were divided into two groups: one with CPG-EB and the other standard post-CABG care. Data collected at 1, 2, and 6 weeks post-surgery assessed swelling and wound complications. Comparative analysis used standardized criteria.
