Indications For the management of leg ulcers.

Where venous insufficiency exists, the paste

bandage should be adjunct to the graduated

compression bandaging. For the management of

chronic eczema/dermatitis where occlusion is

indicated. Precautions Where venous insufficiency

exists, VISCOPASTE PB7 may be used under

graduated compression bandaging, after first

assessing the patient to exclude arterial disease.

The use of Doppler ultrasound is recommended for

this purpose. Compression bandaging should not

be used on patients who have arterial disease

(ABPI(0.8) and is not recommended for use on

diabetic patients with advanced small vessel

disease. Failure to detect reduced arterial flow can

result in pressure necrosis, amputation, or even

death. The risk of a patient having arterial as well

as venous disease rises with age. The skin of leg

ulcer patients is easily sensitized to topical

medicaments - including preservatives.
