Compression Bandage Comparison for Leg Ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two compression bandage systems (Mepi™ Press 2 and UrgoK2®) to treat venous leg ulcers—sores caused by poor circulation in the legs. We want to see if one bandage works as well as or better than the other at helping these ulcers heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a venous leg ulcer (wound from poor leg circulation) that started less than 2 years ago
- Your ulcer is between 2 and 40 square centimeters in size (roughly the size of a postage stamp to a large postage stamp)
- Your ankle blood pressure test (ABPI) is between 0.8 and 1.3
- You speak and read French well enough for medical care

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a sensor-guided compression system improves healing for venous leg ulcers. If you have a chronic leg ulcer and are already using compression therapy, you may qualify.
This trial tests whether a smart bandage with remote monitoring helps heal venous leg ulcers better than standard care. If you have a vein-related leg ulcer that has lasted more than 3 weeks, this study may be an option for you.
This trial tests whether a new cleansing solution (Vashe) is better than a standard saline solution for treating leg ulcers that show signs of infection, like redness or pain. If you have a venous or mixed leg ulcer with these signs, this study may help improve your wound healing.
This study tests a new gel that helps remove dead tissue from venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are open sores on the leg that happen when veins don't work well. The gel is applied to the ulcer to clean it and help it heal. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a venous leg ulcer that is not too large and has been there for a few weeks.
This study compares a new bandage that combines padding, skin protection, and compression in one layer to a standard single-layer bandage. It is for people with healthy leg skin and without serious vein problems to see if the new bandage works as well or better.
This trial tests if a new version of a special dressing (Suprasorb X+PHMB Pro) works better than the current version for treating infected venous leg ulcers. It may help people with mildly to moderately draining wounds that are infected.
