Classification of compression bandages: practical aspects.
BACKGROUND Compression bandages appear to be simple medical devices. However, there is a lack of agreement over their classification and confusion over the use of important terms such as elastic, inelastic, and stiffness. OBJECTIVES The objectives were to propose terms to describe both simple and complex compression bandage systems and to offer classification based on in vivo measurements of ...
متن کاملStability Analysis of Laminated Cylindrical Shells under Combined Axial Compression and Non-Uniform External Pressure
This study investigates geometrical non-linear analysis of composite circular cylindrical shells under external pressure over part of their surfaces and also shells subjected to combined axial compression and triangular external pressure. Donnell non-linear shell theory along with first order shear deformation theory (FOSD) are adopted in the analysis. In the case of combined axial compression ...
متن کامل3 layer paste bandages were more effective than 4 layer bandages for healing venous leg ulcers.
et al. Randomized clinical trial of three-layer paste and four-layer bandages for venous leg ulcers. Q Are 3 layer paste bandages as effective as 4 layer bandages for healing of venous leg ulcers? METHODS Design: randomised controlled trial. Setting: a hospital leg ulcer outpatient clinic in London, UK. Patients: 133 patients (56% men) with venous leg ulcers. Exclusion criteria: arterial diseas...
متن کاملInfluence of different materials in multicomponent bandages on pressure and stiffness of the final bandage.
BACKGROUND The physical characteristics of bandage kits, in which different materials are combined, cannot be predicted by laboratory tests. They can only be assessed in vivo by measuring the interface pressure and calculation of stiffness. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate pressure and stiffness of some widely used multicomponent, multilayer bandages and to investigate the effect of...
متن کاملMeasurement of lower leg compression in vivo: recommendations for the performance of measurements of interface pressure and stiffness: consensus statement.
BACKGROUND Interface pressure and stiffness characterizing the elastic properties of the material are the parameters determining the dosage of compression treatment and should therefore be measured in future clinical trials. OBJECTIVE To provide some recommendations regarding the use of suitable methods for this indication. METHOD This article was formulated based on the results of an inter...
