The Lindsay Leg Club model and a venous ulcer case study

Mr H, an 85-year-old man, had undergone a heart bypass surgery 10 years ago and had been living with non-healing a leg ulcer for 9 years. He was also one of the first members of the Leg Club. With a fourlayer compression bandaging, regular wound cleansing with non-cytotoxic solutions, and application of primary dressings tailored to exudate levels, Mr H's leg ulcer healed within 8 weeks, much sooner than the expected 12-week period. Post-healing, he transitioned into the Well Leg Programme, attending monthly health-check sessions.
