Accredited Industry-Supported Pre-Conference: Leg Ulcer & Compression Day: The Four C’s Redefining the Standard of Care

Supported by an independent educational grant from Urgo Foundation.

This is a hands-on workshop. Pre-registration is required.

Learning Objectives:
• Explain the importance of compression therapy as a standard of care in managing venous ulcers and phlebolymphedema, despite its underutilization
• Demonstrate knowledge of the “Three C’s” of effective compression therapy—consistency, continuity, and comfort—and recognize how advances in materials and application techniques can address these critical factors
• Assess the role of compression in controlling lymphedema and preventing further venous ulcerations, including its impact on peri-ulcer skin health
• Describe the emerging concept of the “Fourth C” (Cutis— a Latin name for Dermis) and articulate how compression therapy may positively influence skin microcirculation and dermal health beyond ulcer closure
