Compression
Sometimes neglected or poorly tolerated by patients, compression therapy, which has been used since ancient times, may appear to be an outdated treatment. But this is not the case at all: compression is still the cornerstone of treatment for phlebological and lymphatic conditions…
In the last few years, significant medical and technical progress has been made in the field of compression therapy.
Compression is a simple, effective treatment that acts by squeezing the leg (by direct application of pressure, measured in mmHg) to stimulate venous return towards the heart and reduce oedema.
The level of pressure required depends on both the condition to be treated and the patient’s capacity to tolerate this pressure.
With a sound knowledge of this therapy in order to be able to adjust the treatment to each particular indication and patient, it is possible to achieve the expected level of efficacy in the conditions to be treated and a significant improvement in patients’ quality of life.
In phlebology and lymphology, the use of bandages is therefore particularly suitable for compression therapy in venous leg ulcers and to significantly reduce oedema.
