Question 9

Long-stretch compression bandages:

Answer 9

60-70 mm Hg and applied to patients who are immobile.

Question 10

Short-stretch compression bandages:

Answer 10

Low pressure at rest and high working when mm’s expand. Pt must have a functional calf mm and functional gait pattern to maximally benefit form this bandage.

Question 11
