The objective of this paper was to investigate the pressure applied lower leg by multilayer, multicomponent wrap systems, in different positions Method: stretch profiles five systems were tested, three 2-layer and two 4-layer systems. These quantified laboratory using a tensile testing device. circumference measured on healthy participants locations (ankle, B1 level, calf) postures (rest, dorsiflexion, standing).The largest changes used simulate under products Laplace's Law. While differences large for zinc plaster product, ranged from 5-10mmHg other, more elastic products. Additionally, it noted that decreased at level calf majority when transitioning sitting standing. This decrease size results bandage tension pressure.These show sub-bandage is not significantly affected posture as intended, within therapeutic range.This study sponsored Carolon. L. Reid, S.
