Venous ulcers can now be cured but treatment is dire on the NHS. I had to pay for mine, but haven’t looked back since I had the treatments in 2018. Forget tissue viability they will only treat the symptom and not the underlying cause.

Maybe a Gauze sponge

Mum is going through the same,don't loose hope

There are now treatments that can cure them if they’re venous. Please do not listen to anyone in the NHS about venous insufficiency and forget tissue viability they will only treat the symptom and not the underlying cause. Makes my blood boil.

I hope you're better now and if not stay strong I have an ulcer atm not as bad as some but I know the difficulty with them this is my 2cnd. Please stay strong 💪 ❤️

Hi Paul, sorry to hear your question went unanswered for months. UrgoStart and UrgoKtwo are both available in Australia. UrgoKTwo in Australia is called UrgoK2. We hope this helps! If you wish to receive extra information, do not hesitate to reach out to us again.

@@UrgoMedicalUK Hello, thanks for the feedback. It occurred to me after my question that it was remiss of me not to thank the company for even making these videos at a time which I imagine is frantic for the medical industry. "Thank you". Anyway, previously I have dealt with Independence Australia to purchase my Urgo products. Tonight whilst googling, I see there is Urgomedical dot com dot au. Can I buy from them, perhaps your Australian office, or which company should I buy from? Perhaps the name of the authorised dealer? Thanks again.

Hello, all UrgoTul dressings are ideal for acute wounds because they promote an ideal environment for the wound to heal, and are also pain-free at removal so dressing changes would not cause unnecessary pain to your patients. All of the UrgoStart Plus dressings are better suited for the wounds that are more chronic in nature, such as leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers or pressure ulcers. That's because all UrgoStart Plus dressings have something unique in them: TLC-NOSF, which is a special ingredient that reduces the healing time. Not all wounds need that, but leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers are very complex wounds and can take a long time to heal, so they need a bit more help. All the UrgoStart Plus dressings are also pain-free at removal, to not cause unnecessary pain at dressing changes. If you are interested, there is a video up on our channel that walks you through how UrgoStart Plus dressings work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIGwiJubabGai5Y We hope we answered your question, if you want more information on either of our dressing, feel free to contact us and we'd be happy to help!
