About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Venous Insufficiency focused on measuring Compression therapy

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy volunteers: age > 18 years, proband information read, consent form signed
  • Patients: age > 18 years, chronic venous insufficiency CEAP C5 (healed venous ulcer).Age > 18 year, patient information read, consent signed.

Arm Label

Healthy subjects and patients

Arm Description

To done a novel compression system. 20 healthy subjects and 20 patients done a novel compression system termed Socknleg and a compression class III stocking as a comparator.The Socknleg compression system was developed by the investigator and produced by Sigvaris AG, St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Donning success.
Ability to fully done the investigated compression devices.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Interface pressure
Interface pressure of the compression systems is measured at level cB1 (transition of the Achilles tendon to the calf muscle) in mmHg by a pressure measuring device termed Picopress® . Interface pressure is compared between the novel compression system and the comparator, a class III compression stocking.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study intends to investigate a novel compression system termed Socknleg composed of an understocking covering the foot with three added stockings extending from the ankle to the knee without covering the foot. The novel Socknleg system is compared to a standard class III compression stocking.
Detailed Description
The investigator tests a novel compression system termed Socknleg in 20 healthy individuals and 20 patients with chronic venous disease. Socknleg is composed of an understocking covering the foot with three added stockings extending from the ankle to the knee without covering the foot. The novel Socknleg system is compared to a standard class III compression stocking. Outcome measures are successful donning and the comparison of interface pressure measured on the level of the ankle.
