Overview
The article is introduced with short summary of anatomical and pathological causative data of chronic venous insuficience. Patophysiological consequences and their influence upon indication and optimalisation of compressive treatment are closely discussed. Dependence of physical rules according to that of Pascal and Laplace, and influence to Starling’s equation are talked over. Selection of compression materials and sense stiffness index (SSI), including reached interface pressure are next factors influencing the treatment. Broadly presented are 2–4 layer compression systems and their effects. Finally, the article suggests need of obtaining further unbiased information on the achieved compression.
