During healing therapy for venous ulcers, which of the following should be avoided?

In the context of healing therapy for venous ulcers, it is important to avoid trauma from dressings. Trauma can further damage the already compromised tissue around the ulcer, potentially impeding the healing process. Proper dressing technique is essential to ensure that the dressings do not cause additional irritation or injury to the skin, which could lead to further complications.

Maintaining a balance in dressing application is crucial; dressings should protect the ulcer but also not be so tightly applied that they impinge on surrounding tissues. Ensuring that the dressings are changed appropriately and are suitable for the type of ulcer will facilitate a better healing environment without causing further trauma.

On the other hand, secondary infections should be monitored and managed appropriately, debris removal is often necessary to promote healing, and maintaining moist environments can be beneficial for ulcer healing. Therefore, the emphasis should be on avoiding any method that adds further risk of physical damage to the ulcer site during the healing process.
