Synergistic effect of octenidine gel and hydrogel dressing in the treatment of venous leg ulcers
Marek Kucharzewski
IntroductionVenous leg ulcers (VLUs) represent a major chronic wound condition associated with high recurrence rates, prolonged healing, and substantial socioeconomic burden. Hydrogels have recently gained attention as effective wound dressings due to their moisture-retentive and biocompatible properties. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a combined therapy using octenidine gel and a hydrogel dressing compared to a silver-containing calcium alginate dressing in patients
