The Science of Compression Bandages
About this book
This book introduces and assembles essential knowledge on compression bandages, addressing a gap in the available literature on this subject. It covers the various concepts of compression therapy—from basic principles to practical applications. The subject matter in this book introduces compression therapy fundamentals, covering chronic venous diseases, clinical recommendations, and application guidelines. It also discusses bandage structure, types, pressure dynamics, and material effects on long-term compression. Dynamic compression assessment, long-term compression performance, and prediction and modelling of the compression profile of the bandage over time are also detailed along with other important concepts.
