Cinesteam Helps Manage Malodorous Smells from Leg Ulcers

Tuesday, December 19, 2023

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leg ulcers are a common issue in America. Cleveland Clinic reports that as many as 4% of those over 65 years old have nonhealing wounds on their legs. Even when they are treated appropriately, leg ulcers can take weeks to go away. NHS adds that the condition can lead to pain, swelling, and itching. In addition, there can be what the publication refers to as "a foul-smelling discharge" that comes from the chronic wound. When a leg ulcer also becomes infected and generates odors, this can become overwhelming for a patient. That's where Cinesteam can make a difference.

Key Points: 
  • FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leg ulcers are a common issue in America.
  • Even when they are treated appropriately, leg ulcers can take weeks to go away.
  • "Leg ulcers can easily become infected, and when that happens, infected leg ulcers can generate unpleasant smells," says Clémence Desjardin, Director of Operations and Business Development at Cemag Care.
  • However, Cinesteam dressings provide an additional layer of odor protection that can make it much easier for those managing leg ulcers to remain comfortable and socially engaged rather than isolated.
