Use of an Innovative Silver Impregnated Active Fluid Management Dressing in Heavily Exudating Venous Leg Wounds: An Expanded Case Series

Introduction: Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are notoriously heavily draining and slough-covered wounds. During the inflammatory response, blood vessel walls dilate and become more porous, allo...
