Abstrakt		Introduction: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a venous disorder in the lower extremities associated with changes in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Treatment with short-stretch compression bandages is highly recommended for advanced stages of CVI. Methods: The compression systems Rosidal Sys, Porelast, CobanTM, and ProguideTM were evaluated in 4 groups of mobile and active patients (n = 18) with CVI stage II or III. Sub-bandage pressures at point B1 were measured in the upright and supine positions 30 min and 12 h after the bandage was applied. Average pressures and values of the static stiffness index (SSI) were calculated for each group. Results: The Porelast, Rosidal Sys and CobanTM systems had SSI values in excess of 10 mmHg, 30 min and 12 h after application. The corresponding values for ProguideTM were below 10 mmHg. Conclusion: Porelast, Rosidal Sys and CobanTM are very stiff systems, whereas ProguideTM is more similar to long-stretch compression bandages with a lower degree of stiffness.
