The specific goal was to evaluate the impact of an ACS on wound healing, patient quality of life (QoL) and self-management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this prospective, single-centre observational study, patients who presented with either unilateral or bilateral hard-to-heal LUs received treatment with an ACS. The study included patients diagnosed with venous leg ulcers, ulcers of unknown origin or of mixed aetiology, and ulcers that developed secondary to peripheral arterial disease. The size of the wound area was measured at regular intervals\u2014within 30 days after the initiation of treatment and again after three months. Patient satisfaction, QoL and capacity for self-management were evaluated via a follow-up questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 39 patients (with a combined total of 79 wounds) were included in the study (27 female and 12 male).
