Abstract
Background.Deep venous refluxes play an important triggering role for the development of venous leg ulcers. Compression therapy is able to reduce these refluxes depending on pressure and the kind of material being used.Objective.To compare the efficacy of compression bandages of varying pressure andKeywords
