Poor management of highly exuding venous leg ulcers significantly impacts a person's quality of life. Inadequate care can delay wound healing and result in leakage, soiled clothing and bedding, unpleasant odours, pain, and frequent dressing changes. These challenges often lead to embarrassment, emotional distress, and social isolation for patients.
