- Abstract
Objectives: The main objective of this study is to develop a protocol for the indication of juxtaposed velcro systems for the approach to UVP in the Andalusian Health Service. To achieve this, a cost-effectiveness analysis of the different bandage systems existing as sanitary products for the treatment of ulcers of venous etiology was carried out, where the juxtaposed velcro systems were evaluated for their incorporation and inclusion in the logistics platform of the Andalusian public health system (SSPA). To achieve this, an analysis of the available evidence on the juxtaposed velcro system in patients with UVP was carried out. And finally, the authorization criteria for the use of juxtaposed velcro systems by health professionals of the SSPA were developed. Results: The juxtaposed velcro bandage system is supported by scientific evidence for its use in venous ulcers in the lower limb, as well as for treatment to prevent recurrences. Likewise, in this article it is compared with other established bandage systems, showing it to be a cost-effective health product. Discussion: The juxtaposed velcro bandage system provides autonomy and an improvement in the quality of life for those patients with difficulties in wearing a stocking or who do not have the possibility of a healthcare professional making bandage changes. Being a cost-effective system for the treatment of venous leg ulcers.
