A preliminary randomised controlled study to determine the application frequency of a new lymphoedema bandaging system

Abstract

Objective:  To investigate efficacy and safety of the 3M™Coban™ 2 compression system (Coban 2 system) with different application frequencies in comparison to short-stretch bandaging


Methods:  A multi-centre, randomised, prospective study was performed with 82 patients suffering from arm or leg lymphoedema stage II or late stage II. Patients were allocated to traditional short-stretch 5 times/week or to the Coban 2 system applied two, three or five times/week for 19 days. Limb volume and adverse events were recorded at each study visit. The primary endpoint was percent volume reduction.


Results:  The highest lymphoedema volume ...
