the problem

Venous leg ulcers are amongst the most prevalent form of chronic wounds in the Western World and 1 in 100 adults will be affected at sometime. The NHS spends £34.8m(Source:PASA) on pressure area care products (beds/mattresses/cushions etc,) and £20m/annum on dressings and bandages for the treatment of leg ulcers. The total cost of treatment for leg ulcers has been conservatively estimated at £600M/a when practitioner time is included. However, treatment of ulcerations remains an art rather than a science, and leaders in the clinical community and bandage assessment fields have worked with Ulsys to define their problems and the solutions required.

The ultimate aim of Ulsys is to develop a ‘smart’ bandage. Such a product does not currently exist. Supply of such a development, will provide both time and cost savings to the NHS and other healthcare providers. Whilst working towards this aim, Ulsys intends to help bring the treatment of leg ulcers into the 21st Century by providing the tools to allow practitioners to optimise applied pressures and ensure they are within the known treatment guidelines. The introduction of this technology is expected to be reduction of healing times and complications.
