Circaid adjustable inelastic compression wraps for the treatment of lower limb edema in the venous system pathology

Abstract

Symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency have been known since antiquity. The prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency in Western Europe and the USA has been reported within the range from from 1 to 40% in women and from 1 to 17% in men [1]. As reported by the European authors, the average prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency with class C2-C6 (according to the CEAP classification) among the European population reaches 30% [2]. Edema syndrome remains one of the leading manifestations of chronic venous disease. Compression therapy is one of the main ways to combat edema. The arsenal of devices for the treatment of edematous syndrome is steadily expanding with the development of medical science. Today, in addition to inelastic compression wrap and elastic compression garments, brand-new compression products, circaid adjustable inelastic compression wraps are available.
