Healing Rate and Time to Closure of Venous Leg Ulcers: A Real-World Service Evaluation of Neuromuscular Electrostimulation as an Adjunct to Compression Therapy

Key Findings:
The geko device group showed a significantly improved healing rate of 0.56 mm per week compared to 0.31 mm in the control group. Additionally, the average time to wound closure was reduced from 77 days to just 40 days with the use of the geko device.
