This case study describes a pivotal intervention associated with improved wound appearance and healing rate in a young, active woman with extensive venous stasis ulcers. These extensive ulcerations were heavily exudative and covered by a layer of yellow eschar. Yellow eschar and drainage were successfully managed with a capillary dressing (Vacutex), which promoted therapeutic compression as applied by standard dressings. This case provides data in favour of wound care protocols featuring Vacutex, specifically designed to address the consequences that wound drainage and eschar have in dramatically large venous stasis ulcers.
