Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing a New Two-Component Compression System with Inelastic Multicomponent Compression Bandages in the Treatment of Leg Lymphedema

BACKGROUND
New, less-bulky, short-stretch compression bandages could be a valuable alternative in the management of lymphedema of the leg.


OBJECTIVE
To compare the effectiveness of a two-component compression (2CC) system in the treatment of leg lymphedema with that of the traditional treatment with conventional inelastic multicomponent compression bandages (IMC).


METHODS
Thirty hospitalized patients with moderate to severe unilateral lymphedema (stage II–III) of the leg were included. Patients were divided in two groups; one (n=15) received a 2CC, and the other (n=15) received IMC. Primary outcome was volume reduction of the affected leg; ...
