Compression treatment for chronic venous diseases is associated with a wide range of challenges and often produces uncertain clinical outcomes. Investigating and exploiting the performance of compression bandage would further improve the knowledge of compression management and would give a holistic picture of this promising area. This book discusses the fundamentals of compression therapy i.e. compression or pressure through multi-disciplinary approaches involving various concepts of physics, biological science, biomaterials, fabric engineering, structural dynamics, material science, technical textiles and instrumentation to better deal with compression bandaging from different perspectives. Each Chapter of the book provides its clinical significance which would help in elucidating the clinical outcomes of a particular compression product and achieving maximum compression efficacy as novel wound care management. All the arguments and reasoning described would help in evaluating different compression products, standardization and characterization of compression bandage, innovation suitable compression product, designing and fabricating pressure measuring systems, recommending ideal compression product and developing suitable wrapping protocols for a compression management. The book would be extremely useful for the academicians, R and D managers, bandage manufactures, processing industries, doctors, health practitioners, researchers, nurses, users of the bandage for distinctive applications and all others related to the compression treatment.
