Performance of an adjustable compression wrap in occupational leg swelling

Edema in some subjects worsens over time and wraps help to reduce the leg volume. An adjustable compression wrap was tried on volunteers for 5 h and volumes measured in each limb before and after wrapping using a 3D surface scanner (HandySCAN 3D®) to estimate the volume of the leg. The contralateral...

Summary:Edema in some subjects worsens over time and wraps help to reduce the leg volume. An adjustable compression wrap was tried on volunteers for 5 h and volumes measured in each limb before and after wrapping using a 3D surface scanner (HandySCAN 3D®) to estimate the volume of the leg. The contralateral leg was used as control. We observed a significant decrease in volume in the wrap legs and an increase in the control legs ( < .001), both in the lower part of leg ( = .001) and in the upper part ( = .001). Using the Readywrap® for 5 hours significantly reduces the leg volume. This study enables Readywrap to be studied in a population that is easy to observe in the context of a research program. The Handyscan3D® was shown accurate and reproducible to assess leg volume in future studies.
