Wrapping is the best way to reduce a limb and improve tissue texture. Compression wrapping = Offense
Compression garments = Defense
![Page 6: Compression Wrapping- Basic to Complex Wound... · compression to the knees only. • Attempt to find Capri-type compression to test the ability of the patient to tolerate compression](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070812/5f0c06067e708231d4335fe4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Wraps vs. Garments
Wraps
• Custom fit every time, will shrink with the limb
• Difficult to function while wrapped
• Often unable to wear shoes
• More gentle to skin
• Effectively improves tissue flexibility and decreases fibrosis
Compression Socks
• Final size is the final size
• Able to move around during the day
• Shoes can be important for decreased pedal edema
• Donning can cause trauma to fragile skin
• No ability to soften fibrotic tissue

Velcro Closure Devices
Velcro Closure Garments
• “Offense” and “Defense”
• Closer to a custom fit, will shrink with the limb
• Shoes can be used as foot compression (except while in bed)
• Donning does not cause excessive trauma to the skin however some padding can be used if extra protection required
• Useful in situations where the patient requires independence
Foam
• Foam can be placed under these type of garments to help protect skin
• Bandaging allows for better conformity with the skin however Velcro closer garments are an easy option for many patients

The Physics of Wrapping • Pressure applied is inversely proportional to the
radius of the limb segment bandaged. • The greater the layers, the greater the pressure. • The more narrow the wrap, the greater the
pressure. • Pressure is applied uniformly to a cylindrical
object, but not an oval. • Wraps on the hand and across the foot will
apply greater pressure to the edges (non-cylindrical body parts).

Type of Bandage
Short Stretch
• ________, ___________ • Low resting pressure • High working pressure • Pressure determined by
layers • Decreased friction • Will fall down when limb
reduces • Best used with an active
muscle pump
Long Stretch
• _______ wrap
• High resting pressure
• Inadequate working pressure
• Pressure determined by tension
• Will tighten specifically on narrow places
• Used when no muscle pump present

Purpose of Padding • Allows some “give” for muscle contraction • Foam can distribute pressure evenly- foam
rolls, cotton rolls, cut open-pore foam • Foam pieces can mold limb contours- dense,
closed-pore foam cut to fit • Foam can soften fibrotic tissue- variety of foam
densities cut into blocks and formed into packs and pads

Padding for the “everyday” limb: • To pad boney prominences • Padding decreases the incidence of tissue
incidence significantly • Now a part of the procedural guideline • Padding rolls used for this purpose, never
fibrolytic foam techniques

Padding Tips • A bit of muscle contraction will assist in properly
applying the correct amount of pressure • A light layer followed by a tight layer is always
more comfortable • If you layer with a final tight layer, the patient
can always “escape” • If your patient isn’t sure if the bandage is
comfortable, have them move actively; if no improvements, re-do!

Special Instructions for Arterial Insufficiency • Compression while supine (at night) is not
appropriate • Compression must be applied gently • Pain indicates compression is too aggressive or
that the wraps/device/compression sock needs to be removed
• Assess compression with capillary re-fill test

Low stretch wrapping is an important part of a maintenance program. Wrapping is often continued strategically while the garment is used most days.

annoying combination for your patient.

Treatment for the Inpatient: Elevation • Use a folded pillowcase
• Middle of the pillowcase under the center of the scrotum with the edges between the thighs and the fragile skin of the scrotum
• Lift this “sling” and place two or so rolled towels under the scrotum
• The pillowcase has a softer texture than the towels which should be more comfortable
• The patient can hold onto the ends of the pillowcase to hold the scrotum out of the way when getting to the edge of bed
![Page 34: Compression Wrapping- Basic to Complex Wound... · compression to the knees only. • Attempt to find Capri-type compression to test the ability of the patient to tolerate compression](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070812/5f0c06067e708231d4335fe4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
©2015 MFMER | slide-34
Underwear • Either ‘tightie-whities” or __________
compressive underwear • Using the own patient’s clothes are the best • Very little compression is required to provide
meaningful reduction in scrotal edema
![Page 35: Compression Wrapping- Basic to Complex Wound... · compression to the knees only. • Attempt to find Capri-type compression to test the ability of the patient to tolerate compression](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070812/5f0c06067e708231d4335fe4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Se-Pro-Net or Band-Net • Cover the scrotum with artiflex padding or an
ABD pad, then cover with the __________ • Size 7 or 8 for scrotal edema, size 2 or 3 for
penile edema. However if the scrotal edema overwhelms the penile edema, they can be compressed together in size 7 or 8
• ________ available from therapy is much tighter than the ____________ (see: Plan C second try)

Modified Athletic Supporter • The following slides demonstrate how an
athletic supporter can be modified to accommodate a larger abdominal circumference
• This works if the scrotal edema is not too extreme and if the patient is quite mobile

Assessing Motivation • Motivation makes or breaks treatment plan • If you, the treating therapist, are the only
cheerleader of a marginally motivated patient, you will fail
• Creativity and time crucial- the trial and error process can take up to 1-3 hours per day for fabricating compression garments or attempting alternate ways to wrap

Sample Treatment Plan • Reduce the “easy” edema first with
compression to the knees only. • Attempt to find Capri-type compression to test
the ability of the patient to tolerate compression on the thighs and abdomen.
• Experiment with thigh compression • Don’t be afraid “break the rules” – example:
high stretch wraps, wrapping proximal to distal, leaving out ankle or knees

Important considerations 1. What effect does mobilizing massive
amounts of abdominal edema have on the other major organ systems, in particular the respiratory system?
2. How is the skeletal system affected by attempts to suspend a pannus?
3. Are patients capable of problem solving on their own? Can they carry out a home program minus the supportive environment?
