Effect of elastane linear density on compression pressure of V-shaped compression socks

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of elastane material linear densities on lateral compression values (ankle and calf) in newly designed shape (V-shape) compression socks. For this purpose, three types of yarns: main yarn (MY), plating yarn (PY) and inlaid yarn (IY) were used. Each yarn contains elastane material as core with varying linear densities. Firstly, Machine adjustments were optimized to achieve special V-shaped compression socks according to fix leg size. All the yarns were installed simultaneously and evaluated for their impact on compression pressure value at different segments of leg. Total eighteen socks samples were developed and quantified for pressure exertion using MST MKIV, Salzmann pressure monitoring device. All samples were analyzed using ANOVA in MINTAB 16 software. Consequently, only two socks samples finalized acquiring pressure exertion values of 21 mmHg and 23 mmHg with graduation percentage of 76% and 74% simultaneously

Effects of washing on structural parameters of medical compression stockings

“…However, the compression pressure of CS is determined by its structure. Additionally, several studies have demonstrated a significant correlation between CS structure and compression pressure (Liu et al, 2010;Siddique et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2013;Kawabata et al, 1988;Wang, 2011;Sun et al, 2020). Therefore, analyzing the structure of CS forms the basis for understanding its performance.…”

Development of Cotton-Based Compression Stockings for Class II Compression Requirements

“…Graduated compression stockings exert pressure at a decreasing gradient from the ankle towards the thigh (Wade et al 2017). Due to this varying degree of compression pressure, the blood flow could be controlled and the muscles are kept in the correct position so patients who have chronic venous problems feel better (Siddique et al 2018). Blood flow speed is increased with the first level and second level compression stockings by 37% and 35%, respectively (Liu and Cheng 2021).…”
