Compression therapy in chronic venous disease

Compression therapy is one of the basic therapeutic measures in venous and lymphatic diseases of the upper and lower limbs. Its purpose

is to compensate the function of the vascular bed. The significance of external compression is still underrated by both physicians

and patients, although this method is very effective, simple as well as economically available. The paper reviews effective compression

systems in treating chronic venous disease.

Keywords: chronic venous disease, venous leg ulcer, compression therapy, bandages, compression stockings
