poor healing wound

i agree it may be venous insufficiency with a wound. To heal they usually need an absorbtive type of dressing such as an alginate or aquacel and then a 4 layer bandaging system or a properly applied unna boot. Compression stocking are used after it heals and need to be measured in morning or when compression bandage comes off. The patient I am talking of has serious venous insufficiency and diabetes. Thanks for your help. I am copying these to give to him.
