OBJECTIVES: To verify whether a foot-sparing bandage is effective for patients who have undergone varicose vein surgery, being in the C2 class, having a normal deep venous system and actively walking. METHODS: Ninety consecutive lower legs meeting the inclusion criteria underwent treatment with an inelastic foot-sparing bandage. Patient's satisfaction, efficacy and local effects were systematically documented. RESULTS: The bandage was well tolerated and highly effective. Four of the first 20 cases experienced a slight morning oedema of the foot, which disappeared while walking. Thus, in the remaining cases we covered the foot and distal limb with a custom short tubular-shaped 'sock' providing 10 mmHg compression, only during the first 24 hours. CONCLUSION: The foot-sparing inelastic bandage is effective, cheap and tolerated by well-selected patients who have undergone varicose vein surgery. |
