Pressure measurements on the mannequin leg.⁶⁾ Compression pressure (x-axis) and stiffness (= pressure after enlarging the circumference of the model by 1 cm, y-axis) measured under different stockings and bandages at B1 of the model leg. The pressure of the tested single layer stockings was between~ 10 and ~40 mmHg, for double stockings between 40 and 50 mmHg, maximal stiffness values did rarely exceed 10 mmHg. The multi-component bandages tested were in a comparable range showing resting pressures between 20 and 40 mmHg, but much higher stiffness values. (Cob lite = Coban lite ®, Ros sys = Rosidal sys®, T+E = Tubulcus® + elastic bandage)
