DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Reusable binding material (elasticity up to 60%) used for compression therapy (see also compression bandage, phlebological) in phlebological and lymphological diseases.
ImplementationThis section has been translated automatically.
- The application of the phlebological compression bandage (PKV) requires special knowledge and special experience. The phlebological compression bandage (PKV) can be applied as an alternating bandage or as a permanent bandage.
- The alternating bandage is renewed daily.
- The permanent bandage remains in place for a longer period, usually several days.
- The PKV includes at least one large joint. Because of the higher working pressure and the low resting pressure under the bandage, short-stretch bandages are preferred.
