“…The lack of knowledge about certain aspects of compression therapy and performing compression bandaging has been shown in other international studies, independent of the participants' professions (22,23). It is also reflected in the low number of patients with VLU who received compression therapy (40 %) in Germany (10).…”

Knowledge about methods and materials and their correct usage is the basis for compression therapy. This study compares knowledge and practical skills of participants with further training with those who had no training. This comparison provides information on whether further qualifications have an impact on knowledge and practical skills. In seminars for compression therapy, data on specific and non-specific expertise were acquired. A practical test determined the participants' skills for creating a compression bandage in a pressure value range of 50-60 mmHg. In total, 1338 participants with specific expertise and 138 participants with non-specific expertise took part. Knowledge evaluation showed that 7·9% of the specific expertise group had knowledge regarding padding, 10% regarding multi-component systems and 13·6% regarding ulcer stocking systems. In the practical test, 12·3% of all participants achieved the target range. The majority of users in both groups is not familiar with the different compression materials or their appropriate usage. In the non-specific expertise group, knowledge concerning up-to-date materials and methods is one-third lower. The practical test showed major deficits on both sides. Appropriate exercises, for example, with pressure-measuring devices, should be mandatory for all professional groups who perform compression bandaging.

“…Indeed, the leg morphology varies from a subject to another and maybe even more especially from a female subject to a male subject. 12 Other groups investigated the impact of the application technique on the interface pressure 6 and they also measured the stretch of the applied bandage. However, as the aim of this previous study was to compare the pressure applied by different application techniques, it was carried out for a single bandage type.…”

Compression therapy with stockings or bandages is the most common treatment for venous or lymphatic disorders. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of bandage mechanical properties, application technique and subject morphology on the interface pressure, which is the key of this treatment. Bandage stretch and interface pressure measurements (between the bandage and the leg) were performed on 30 healthy subjects (15 men and 15 women) at two different heights on the lower leg and in two positions (supine and standing). Two bandages were applied with two application techniques by a single operator. The statistical analysis of the results revealed: no significant difference in pressure between men and women, except for the pressure variation between supine and standing positions; a very strong correlation between pressure and bandage mechanical properties (p < 0.00001) and between pressure and bandage overlapping (p < 0.00001); a significant pressure increase from supine to standing positions (p < 0.0001). Also, it showed that pressure tended to decrease when leg circumference increased. Overall, pressure applied by elastic compression bandages varies with subject morphology, bandage mechanical properties and application technique. A better knowledge of the impact of these parameters on the applied pressure may lead to a more effective treatment.

“…To reduce the pressure variations in a given area under the bandage, padding can be used under compression materials [12]. Many types of textiles are composed of woven yarn, each thread composed of a plurality of fibers or yarns twisted together.…”
