Compression Stocking With 100% Donning and Doffing Success: An Open Label Randomised Controlled Trial

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to test whether an investigational two layer stocking exerting 27–29 mmHg pressure at the medial supramalleolar level, but without compression in foot and heel, is easier put on take off than a standard same class (23–32 mmHg), also assess prevention diurnal oedema with both types stocking.MethodsThis open label randomised controlled trial, which included 47 patients. All participants were least 65 years age suffered from chronic venous disease C3 – C6 one leg. The primary end point donning success; secondary endpoints doffing success, over day, comfort wearing stocking. Patients randomly allocated groups. Both compared each group for ease manner crossover study. Subsequently, patients wore type assigned their whole day evaluate effect leg volume.ResultsAll able don unaided, 75% (p < .001). Unaided removal success 100% vs. 66% There no significant difference volume reduction between groups after wear. rated as being more comfortable .001).ConclusionThe stocking, has or heel area, significantly doff, inferiority prevention, class.
