Abstract

The venous ulcer is the clinical end stage of long-standing ambulatory venous hypertension, which is poorly tolerated clinically. Ambulatory venous hypertension is the direct consequence of the hemodynamic alteration caused by pathological ambulatory reflux and generated by primary valvular incompetence. Without proper treatment, these lesions become chronic wounds that are difficult to heal. To improve the treatment of chronic wounds, it is essential to thoroughly address the biofilm present in most of them.
