For centuries, compression therapy has been utilized to treat venous disease. To date it
remains the mainstay of therapy, particularly in more severe forms such as venous …

A non‐invasive method is proposed to identify in vivo the passive mechanical properties of
deep soft tissues in the human leg. Force‐displacement curves in response to a localized …

Compression garments due to their numerous medical applications have been recently
attracted to be mechanically analyzed for their compression mechanism. Predicting the …

For a century-old problem, edema and its treatment have gone remarkably unnoticed by the
biomedical community. Given the prevalence of lymphedema and its debilitating …

Objective To test the in vivo haemodynamic performance of graduated elastic compression
(GEC) stockings using air-plethysmography (APG) in healthy volunteers (controls) and …

Objective: To develop a new method for the prediction of interface pressure applied by
medical compression bandages. Methods: A finite element simulation of bandage …

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the pressure applied by
superimposed bandages and to compare it with the pressure applied by single-component …

Compression of the lower leg by bandages is a common treatment for the advanced stages
of some venous or lymphatic pathologies. The outcomes of this treatment directly result from …

The design of medical-grade compression garments is essential for therapeutic efficacy,
requiring precise pressure distribution on specific body areas. This study evaluates the …

The main objective of this study was to compare the interface pressure applied by four
different compression bandages (two elastic, one inelastic, and one multi-layer system), in …
