This research aims to compare the fluid absorption performance of two commonly used CE-marked superabsorbent dressings in people with venous leg ulcers VLUs. The study focuses on how well each dressing manages wound exudate, prevents skin maceration, and avoids leakage, which are important factors for promoting wound healing during routine care. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either the Cutimed Sorbion product range or the Zetuvit RespoSorb product range for managing exudate from their VLUs. Both product groups include various dressing types designed to absorb wound fluid. The study will last up to 30 days, during which participants will receive regular dressing changes and wound care. Throughout the study, participants will attend scheduled visits for assessments including the frequency of dressing changes, skin condition around the wound, wound tissue changes, pain levels, and patient and healthcare provider satisfaction. Quality of life will be measured using a specific questionnaire at the start and end of the study. Safety and wound healing progress will be closely monitored over the 30-day period.
