Community RCT of the Effectiveness of Two Compression Bandaging Technologies

Precise components of the four-layer system depend on the circumference of the ankle. All the bandages are discarded after a single use, usually one week.

These bandages are applied in a figure-eight technique; two bandages are applied at full extension in opposite directions up the leg (i.e., clockwise and counter clockwise). The participant will wash the short-stretch wherever possible and reused. The number of bandages supplied to each patient will be recorded on the visit record.
