Adults with VLUs or MLUs, confirmed by an ankle\u2013brachial pressure index &gt;0.6, were treated with UrgoK2 Lite Latex Free and UrgoStart dressings (both Laboratoires Urgo, France) for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was complete ulcer closure by week 12. Secondary endpoints included time-to-heal, change in wound area, leg oedema resolution, change in ankle circumference, ease of application and adherence to compression therapy, adverse events (AEs), and acceptability of the treatment strategy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 45 patients with LUs (mean age 70.0 years; 64% male; 44% obese) were included. Based on vascular assessment, 24 patients had VLUs and 21 had MLUs, associated with leg oedema in 89% of cases. The LUs were recurrent in 60% of cases, and lasted \u22656 months in 58% of cases. The wound areas were relatively large (median value: 9.4cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      , interquartile range (IQR): 5.9\u201311.8cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ), and mostly covered by sloughy tissue. Impaired perilesional skin was reported in 93% of patients. By the final visit, 71% of VLUs had healed, 25% had improved and 4% remained unchanged. Despite an initial poorer healing prognosis than for VLUs, 43% of MLUs healed and 43% improved. The median time-to-heal was nine weeks (IQR: 6\u201311 weeks), with no relevant difference between the two types of leg ulcer (LU). These good healing progressions were also supported by consistent and steady reductions in wound surface area throughout the 12 weeks of treatment, regardless of LU aetiology, resulting in a relative wound area reduction of 100% (median value; IQR: 93.8\u2013100.0%) in VLUs and 98.6% (median value; IQR: 55.6\u2013100.0%) in MLUs. Leg oedema resolved in all patients by week 8 (except two missing data), while mean ankle circumference reduced from 24.5\u00b12.7cm at baseline to 21.4\u00b12.4cm at final measurement. The application of the compression system was judged \u2018very easy\u2019 in 85% of cases and \u2018easy\u2019 in 15%. Full adherence to compression therapy was reported in 80% of patients during the first weeks of treatment and increased to 97% by week 8. Only two AEs, unrelated to the evaluated treatments, were reported throughout the study period. At the final visit, the association of the multicomponent reduced compression system and TLC-NOSF dressings in the management of VLUs and MLUs was considered \u2018very satisfactory\u2019 in 98% of cases and \u2018satisfactory\u2019 in 2% by the healthcare professionals involved in this study.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The association of multicomponent reduced compression treatment and TLC-NOSF dressings resulted in high rates of wound healing, leg oedema resolution, good adherence and tolerance. These findings support the use of the evaluated strategy in patients with VLUs or MLUs. Multicomponent reduced compression therapy could facilitate the early implementation of effective compression therapy in patients who are unable to tolerate strong compression or for whom it is contraindicated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2025.0535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,23]],"date-time":"2025-12-23T16:13:18Z","timestamp":1766506398000},"page":"4-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multicomponent reduced compression therapy and TLC-NOSF dressings in leg ulcers with or without arterial component"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Rial","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Angiology and Vascular Surgery Department, University Hospital HM Madrid & HM Torrelodones, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pilar Ruiz","family":"Alvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Angiology and Vascular Surgery Department, University Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose Miguel","family":"Gallego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Medical Affairs, Laboratoires Urgo, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guillermo","family":"Mo\u00f1ux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Angiology and Vascular Surgery Department, University Hospital HM Madrid & HM Torrelodones, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis Sanchez","family":"Herv\u00e1s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Angiology and Vascular Surgery Department, University Hospital HM Madrid & HM Torrelodones, Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Angiology and Vascular Surgery Department, University Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2863-4705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serge","family":"Bohbot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Medical Affairs, Laboratoires Urgo, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12814"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2024.33.Sup10b.S1"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12636"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1534734620967562"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.13543"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1024\/0040-5930\/a001032"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2020-045253"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12216"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12387"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.70012"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/02683555241306998"},{"key":"B12","unstructured":"National Wound Care Strategy Programme.
