This study seeks to determine if compliance with compression therapy is increased in
patients with healed venous insufficiency ulcerations when lower levels of compression
therapy are prescribed. This study will measure compliance with compression therapy at low
levels of compression. It will also seek to determine if compression therapy aids in the
prevention of venous insufficiency ulcer recurrence.

This study looks to determine if patients with a history of venous insufficiency and
recently healed venous insufficiency ulcerations are compliant with lower levels of
compression therapy. It also seeks to evaluate the efficacy of compression therapy in the
prevention of recurrence of venous insufficiency ulcerations.
recently healed venous insufficiency ulcerations are compliant with lower levels of
compression therapy. It also seeks to evaluate the efficacy of compression therapy in the
prevention of recurrence of venous insufficiency ulcerations.
