WP Bundens, M.D. In a multi-center prospective, randomized study, the cost and healing rates for treatment of venous ulcers was compared between the CircAid T-3 Boot and Unna boot. Cost of treatment was significantly less. The total cost of treatment was 38% less with the T-3 Boot and this difference was statistically significant. Healing rates were 45% faster with T-3 Boots, though this value did not reach statistical significance because of large standard deviations.
