  • Pressure measurements were taken on limbs with varying circumferences.

    • Main Results:

    • The bandage system achieved the target pressure of 40 mmHg +/- 10% on ankles with circumferences from 21-26 cm and 27-33 cm.
    • Marginal deviations from design criteria (40 +/- 6 mmHg) were observed for circumferences between 26-27 cm.
    • Both application aids facilitated consistent pressure delivery.

    Conclusions:

    • The new high-compression bandage system, utilizing its application aids, effectively delivers therapeutic compression for a defined range of leg circumferences.
    • The device meets key performance indicators for a Type 3c compression bandage.
    • Minor adjustments may be needed for optimal performance on specific intermediate leg circumferences.
