Compression is widely recognised as a vital component for healing venous leg ulcers (VLUs), for preventing them in at-risk patients and for long-term management to reduce recurrence. With current pressures on nurses to try to find resource and time saving solutions in patient care, management of complex wounds can prove challenging – compression bandaging is time and resource intensive and suitably competent staͿ often too few. As an alternative option, adjustable compression wraps can be an innovative solution in wound management and can successfully replace bandaging for patients with or without lymphoedema who have a VLU. This case report describes how the multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach to care for a patient with lymphoedema and bilateral leg ulcers achieved eͿective wound healing as well as reduction in swelling by using adjustable compression wraps, i.e. easywrap® strong. Successful team working between the treatment room, tissue viability nurse and patient resulted in patient empowerment, self-care and long-term support from the lymphoedema clinic.
