Leg Ulcers: This NEW Treatment Could Change Everything! Pilot- Research from Lily Benton at the BAS*

Lily Benton, a Vascular Nurse Practitioner at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital in London, discusses the use of sub-ulcer plexus foam sclerotherapy in treating venous leg ulcers. This technique involves injecting a special foam medication directly into the veins beneath the ulcer to help them close and promote healing. While the EVRA study highlighted the importance of early intervention for venous ulcers, many patients still struggle with healing. Lily explores the potential of foam sclerotherapy as a cost-effective and minimally invasive option for these individuals. She shares her experience with this technique, including compelling case studies and the design of a pilot study to gather further evidence. This video is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals interested in the latest advancements in venous leg ulcer treatment. It also offers hope to patients who have been suffering from this chronic condition. Lily Benton presented this research at the British Association of Sclerotherapists Annual Meeting in May 2024. It was part of A Leg Ulcer Symposium at the 2024 BAS Annual Meeting The Annual Meeting was recorded and is available here: 🔗 - https://www.veincare.academy/bas-2024-annual-conference-video-recording OR JOIN US FOR THE NEXT BAS ANNUAL MEETING ON 20TH MAY 2025... ...
