Abstract [en]

Background: To evaluate an innovative class I compression stocking with predetermined uniform pressure in comparison to a graduated class III compression stocking system, regarding edema reduction, interface pressure, and patient comfort. Method: Twenty-five patients with chronic venous disease, were randomized: 12 to investigational stocking, 13 to comparator stocking. Data collected at baseline and after 14 days. Results: Edema was significantly equal reduced to follow-up; mean −129.0 cm3 (SD 105; p =.004, Class I) and −223.7 cm3 (SD 120; p =.002, Class III), respectively. The investigational stocking lost significantly less compression pressure than the comparator stocking (p ≤.013). Participants in both groups perceived significant improvement regarding leg heaviness, leg swelling, and feelings of tightness and tingling (p ≤.016). Conclusion: The innovative investigational class I stocking appears to offer similar edema reduction and benefits to the comparator class III stocking. However, a larger and prolonged study is required. The study was registered in the ISRCTN-registry, ISRCTN17356077, https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN17356077.
