Pressure dressing: stasis ulcers are usually venous, but sometimes the arteries can also be involved also depending on how large the ulcer is Usually a pressure dressing is applied if its strictly venous stasis ulcer. It looks like a boot. This is the faster way to treat If the ulcer is infected you may need an antibiotic or other topical dressing under the boot dressing.
