Static Magnet device, 4UlcerCare, prevents Leg Ulcer Recurrence: Potential Cost Savings in leg ulcer management

The objectives of this survey were to examine the effectiveness of 4UlcerCare in preventing recurrence of leg ulcers after healing and also to estimate the potential cost savings to the significant UK National Health System (NHS) spending each year on ulcer management. Subjects surveyed had ulcers for on average 4.4 years before use of 4UlcerCare but these ulcers healed within an average of 3.57 months after application of 4UlcerCare. After 19.94 months wearing 4UlcerCare as advised, 65% of those surveyed that had previously had a mean number of recurrences of 2.41, had no further ulcer recurrence. We have estimated an unprecedented potential 51.2% reduction in spending by the UK NHS, which represents a reduction of at least £153.7 million per year (assuming an annual spend of £300 million per annum).
