Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs) are a type of chronic wound that affects the lower legs and feet. They are caused by poor circulation in the veins, which can be due to a variety of conditions such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and obesity. VLUs are a common problem in dermatology, with an estimated 1-2% of the population suffering from them. Treatment typically involves wound care, compression therapy, and lifestyle changes.
VLUs can be difficult to treat and can cause significant pain and discomfort. As such, there is a large market for products and services that can help manage and treat VLUs. These include wound dressings, compression garments, and other medical devices. Additionally, there are a number of companies that provide services such as wound care and physical therapy.
Some companies in the Venous Leg Ulcer market include Smith & Nephew, Mölnlycke Health Care, 3M, Coloplast, and BSN Medical. Show Less Read more
