Compression therapy is the primary mode of treatment for venous leg ulcers (VLU), as it can heal the majority of small venous ulcers of short duration. The therapy is mainly used to reduce pain and edema, heal ulcers, and prevent recurrences. In the case of VLU, compression leads to the narrowing of veins, the restoration of valve competence, and the reduction of ambulatory venous pressure, thus reducing venous reflux. In addition, it also helps to increase capillary flow, decrease inflammatory cytokines, and lower capillary fluid leakage, thereby alleviating limb edema.
