COMPRESSION THERAPY

COMPRESSION THERAPY involves the application of sustained or dynamic pressure to the lower limbs. The pressure (mmHg) is applied using stockings, elastic bandages or intermittent pneumatic compression pumps.  Compression therapy is the gold standard in the treatment of venous stasis ulcers. 

COMPRESSION THERAPY bandage types:

• Short stretch
• Long stretch
• Multi layer

COMPRESSION THERAPY benefits:

• Improved venous return
• Improved macro and microcirculation
• Improved wound healing due to vasoactive mediator release
