“…Benigni et al reported the stretch rates, compression pressures, and SSIs of six different ACG products. 17) Except for Coolflex, all these products (Juzo Compression Wrap 6000, ReadyWrap, JuxtaFit, JuxtaLite, and CompreFlex) are made of low-stretch or high-stretch materials. In the latter case, the degree of compression can be adjusted by adjusting the stretching rate of the strap.…”

Objectives: To assess the physical features and compression characteristics of a newly developed adjustable compression garment, McBoooon (Mc). Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers were recruited to assess the compression characteristics. The interface pressure (IP) was continuously measured to calculate the static (SSI) and dynamic stiffness indices (DSI). Additionally, the peak flow velocity (PV) of the popliteal vein during ankle dorsiflexion was measured using ultrasonography. Each parameter was compared between ASHIKA stockings (AS), Mc applied at the same resting pressure as AS (Mc1), and Mc applied at a resting pressure approximately twice that of Mc1 (Mc2). Results: SSI and DSI were significantly different, increasing in the order AS < Mc1 < Mc2 (p <0.01). Although the PV was significantly higher in the compression group than in the control group (p <0.05), no significant differences were found among the three groups. Conclusion: The physical features and compression characteristics of Mc were clarified. The high stiffness of this garment improves the adherence to compression therapy and contributes to the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency.

“…They can be easier to put on and off in comparison to flat knit stockings, especially when needing assistance from a care giver. MAC devices can be applied at different pressure levels and can be easily readjusted during the course of the day by the care giver or the patient [16], making them responsive to ongoing decongestive therapy.…”

Compression is the cornerstone of treatment for lymphoedema; however, in patients with Stage III lymphoedema that causes a significant alteration of limb shape and size, additional creative problem solving is required in order to find a solution that fits the person, their limb and their personal circumstances. Medical adaptive compression (MAC) systems provide solutions to complex situations. We present two cases of individuals who completed an inpatient rehabilitation stay for intensive treatment of their lymphoedema and were fitted with MAC devices to ensure long-term success.

“…Unlike bandages, an adjustable compression wrap allows a standardized application without compressing the ankle and foot. Compared to CIRCAID juxtafit, the stretch of Readywrap is shorter producing a higher stiffness 4 (SSI = 35 vs 20 mmHg). Previously published results [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] showed the wrap to be effective in treating edema, leg ulcers and lymphoedema.…”

Background Edema in some subjects worsens over time and wraps help to reduce the leg volume. Material and methods An adjustable compression wrap was tried on volunteers for 5 h and volumes measured in each limb before and after wrapping using a 3D surface scanner (HandySCAN 3D®) to estimate the volume of the leg. The contralateral leg was used as control. Results We observed a significant decrease in volume in the wrap legs and an increase in the control legs ( p < .001), both in the lower part of leg ( p = .001) and in the upper part ( p = .001). Conclusions Using the Readywrap® for 5 hours significantly reduces the leg volume. This study enables Readywrap to be studied in a population that is easy to observe in the context of a research program. The Handyscan3D® was shown accurate and reproducible to assess leg volume in future studies.
