If you have a leg ulcer or lower limb condition choosing a self care compression product as part of your treatment can have a number of benefits, not only for you and your family, but also for your healthcare professional. If you are currently in bandaging and think you would like to try a self-care compression product, speak to your healthcare professional to see if a self-care product may be suitable to support your condition.
Self care product options
There are two main types of self care compression.
Hosiery: Compression socks and tights
