Elastic multilayer bandages for chronic venous insufficiency: features of our technique.

[Chronic venous insufficiency and compression therapy].

INTRODUCTION Disorders of venous circulation are among most frequent diseases in the human population. During recent years there has been increased interest in physiopathology of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), due to development of more accurate diagnostic methods and new therapeutic techniques. Considering patophysiology of CVI and its consequences the crucial points are stasis and reflux...

4 layer elastic bandages were most cost effective than multilayer inelastic bandages for healing venous leg ulcers.

Juxta CURES: An innovative method of providing compression for leg ulcer management

In the UK, it has been estimated that leg ulcers affect between 1% and 2% of the population (Graham et al, 2003). This equates to between 70 000 and 190 000 individuals with an open ulcer at any time (Posnett and Franks 2007). The prevalence of leg ulceration increases with age and is higher among women. Often, these individuals suffer with pain, social isolation and restricted mobility not to ...

[Conservative treatment of chronic venous insufficiency].

A better reduction of ambulatory venous hypertension in CVI individuals has been reported with high-pressure bandages in comparison to compression stockings which exert a lower pressure [7]. Moreover although higher pressure bandaging systems appear to be more efficient at ameliorating venous incompetence than lower pressure, the optimal amount and duration of compression is debateable [10]. In...

ECAMulticapa: Effectiveness of double-layered compression therapy for healing venous ulcers in primary care: a Study Protocol

BACKGROUND Chronic venous insufficiency, in its final stage can cause venous ulcers. Venous ulcers have a prevalence of 0.5 % to 0.8 % in the general population, and increases starting at 60 years of age. This condition often causes increased dependency in affected individuals, as well as a perceived reduced quality of life and family overload. Local Treating chronic venous ulcers has 2 compone...
