| Publication |
BJCN, June 2006; Vol.11; No.6: S6-11 |
| Key Points |
Cost, concordance, training, application. Literature reviews. No reference in venous Iit to cohesive short-stretch bandages. Costs in venous I were affected by training and application methods. 4 -layer bandages can be bulky, expensive, more time-consuming, painful, with increased risk of error. Cohesive short-stretch bandages - quicker to apply, safer, similar healing to four layer bandages, used on mixed aetiology and limited mobility. |
