LEGS GO!

As The Healing Company, our mission is to partner with Healthcare Professionals to help them accompany, support, and heal their patients.

Leg ulcers affect 1% of adults worldwide1,2,3 and up to 70% of venous leg ulcers recur after healing4. 

Today, patients and healthcare professionals need concrete tools and support to make a difference in leg ulcer management. For this reason, Urgo Medical developed the LEGS GO! Leg Ulcer Patient Program in partnership with clinicians and patients to help empower patients in their healing.

We have identified 5 factors that can have an impact on ulcer healing and have built a toolkit around them. Our goal: help patients become actors of their healing and get their life back.
