[Formation of compressive bandage after sclerotherapy for lower limb varices]

Invention concerns compressive sclerotherapy as a treatment modality for lower limb varices. Technical result of investigation is the development of compressive bandage that creates and maintains adequate level of limb compression both in supine position (during bed rest) and standing or walking. Technical result is achieved by formation of two compressive layers of elastic bandage. Highly expansible elastic bandage is used for the first layer aimed for fixation and compression of latex or foam pads at injection sites to create local compression of variceal nodes. Open toe elastic stocking (I compression class) is placed over the bandage to maintain adequate compression during bed rest. The second external layer consists of elastic bandage with moderate expansion (II compression class). It is placed over the first one from toes to thigh upper third and creates optimal compression in patient's vertical position. The patient is permitted to take it off or loose exclusively in supine position, to wash or refresh foot with wet towel, to change it with a new one.
