Manejo integral de la úlcera venosa en enfermedad venosa crónica: aplicación de vendaje multicapa tipo Bota de Unna

Abstract

Here is the 100-word summary in English:

Chronic venous disease is a common condition associated with risk factors such as obesity, multiparity, and prior thrombosis, with its most severe stage presenting as venous ulcers. These lesions significantly impact quality of life and require specialized diagnosis using Doppler studies. Initial management is conservative, including compression therapy and phlebotonic drugs, although surgical treatment may be needed to prevent recurrence. Multilayer compression dressings, such as the Unna boot, have proven effective in promoting ulcer healing. This treatment enables progressive improvement and epithelialization, with complete healing typically achieved within approximately six weeks, depending on the patient’s clinical evolution and adherence to therapy.
