Interface Pressures

Background Multi-component medical compression bandages are widely used to treat venous leg ulcers. The sub-bandage interface pressures induced by individual components of the multi-component compression bandage systems are not always simply additive. Current models to explain compression bandage performance do not take account of the increase in leg circumference when each bandage is applied, and this may account for the difference between predicted and actual pressures. Objective To calculate the interface pressure when a multi-component compression bandage system is applied to a leg. Method Use thick wall cylinder theory to estimate the sub-bandage pressure over the leg when a multi-component compression bandage is applied to a leg. Results A mathematical model was developed based on thick cylinder theory to include bandage thickness in the calculation of the interface pressure in multi-component compression systems. In multi-component compression systems, the interface pressure corresponds to the sum of the pressures applied by individual bandage layers. However, the change in the limb diameter caused by additional bandage layers should be considered in the calculation. Adding the interface pressure produced by single components without considering the bandage thickness will result in an overestimate of the overall interface pressure produced by the multi-component compression systems. At the ankle (circumference 25 cm) this error can be 19.2% or even more in the case of four components bandaging systems. Conclusion Bandage thickness should be considered when calculating the pressure applied using multi-component compression systems.

Compression Treatment

Background: Compression treatment remains an effective method of healing of venous ulceration. Traditional bandaging techniques require considerable nursing time to apply. Elastic stockings are comfortable but patients find these difficult to put on over dressings. Aim: To develop a tubular compression bandage system that can be easily applied to patients with venous leg ulceration. Methods: A tubular bandage has been designed (Tubulcus) which applies 30-40 mmHg compression at the ankle with graduated compression above this. An applicator system has been designed (Tricolore) which allows the compression bandage to be applied over ulcer dressings. The device has been evaluated on a cylindrical former and an anatomical model of a leg, in order to assess its suitability for clinical trials. It has been compared with three types of compression bandage. Results: The tubular bandaging system provides sustained compression to be applied to leg ulcers whilst facilitating dressing changes. The graduated compression profile achieved with this system is more easily obtained than when using any of the three types of bandage. Conclusion: A system of application of elastic compression has been designed specifically for use in patients with venous ulceration. Clinical trials are now required to demonstrate the efficacy of this system.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical effects of a custom-made conformer wrapped in lower oral mucosa for the correction of severely contracted socket. Methods: Clinical data and photographs of 32 patients with severely contracted socket were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 32 cases, 21 were males and 11 were females. Their ages ranged from 20 to 71 years (mean, 45 years). Each patient underwent conjunctival sac plasty using a custom-made conformer wrapped by oral mucosa, then compression bandage for 1 month. All patients received tarsorrhaphy 6 months postoperatively, and an artificial eye was worn 1 week later. Results: All the grafts were fully vascularized. The conjunctival sacs had enough space to fit the desirable artificial eyes, and adequate aesthetic outcomes were reached postoperatively. The mean depth of the upper fornix was 4.28 ± 0.66 mm preoperatively and 18.84 ± 0.65 mm postoperatively ( p < 0.01), and lower fornix depth was 2.69 ± 0.42 and 8.78 ± 0.82 mm, respectively ( p < 0.01). Lower lip deformity occurred in one case. Conclusion: A custom-made conformer wrapped in lower oral mucosa was a safe and effective grafting material. The grafts can be effectively used in the reconstruction of severely contracted socket and lead to good cosmetic outcomes.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of a long-stretch bandage with that of a short-stretch compression bandage. Design: Prospective evaluation of healing of venous leg ulcers in blindly randomized groups of patients. Setting: Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark. Patients: Forty-three patients with venous leg ulcers were included. Forty legs in 40 patients were evaluated at 1 month (34 patients), 6 months (32 patients) or 12 months (27 patients). Interventions: Both types of bandage were used at a width of 10 cm and applied using the same spiral bandaging technique. Main outcome measures: Ulcer healing and ulcer area reduction. Results: Healed ulcers after 1 month were observed in 27% of the long-stretch group and in 5% of the short-stretch group ( p = 0.15); after 6 months the corresponding figures were 50% and 36% ( p = 0.49) and after 12 months 71% and 30% ( p = 0.06). Using life-table analysis the predicted healing rate in the long-stretch group after 12 months was 81% and for the short-stretch group 31% ( p = 0.03). The mean of relative ulcer areas at 1 month was 0.45 for the long-stretch group and 0.72 for the short-stretch group ( p = 0.07), at 6 months the corresponding figures were 0.81 and 0.60 ( p = 0.25) and at 12 months 0.25 and 0.95 ( p = 0.01). Conclusions: The present study appears to indicate a Positive influence of the elasticity of a compression bandage on venous ulcer healing.
