Compression Parameters

Compression Force: 30-80 – minus 10 mmHg
UE 30-60 mmHg
LE 40-80 mmHg
Start lower for post traumatic edema and residual limb shaping (which is post traumatic edema)
On/Off time
3:1 for lymphedema/edema/venous stasis/DVT prevention
4:1 for residual limb shaping
Duration
Start with 1 hour and adjust to achieve desired clinical outcome (1-4 hours)
Frequency
Start with 1x/day and adjust to achieve desired clinical outcome (3x/week to 4x/day)
Desired clinical outcome = good edema control/wound healing
