Background

The Working Group Bandages was established during the last ICC-Meeting in Vienna in May 2012.
Main working topic is currently the Stiffness of Bandages and how to measure it in vivo and in vitro.
The group is open for discussion around all matters related to the medical effectiveness and material
characteristics of Compression Bandages.

Next Meeting

at the Excel, London

On the agenda:

In vivo measurements of compression bandages and bandaging systems
- An overview and evaluation of existing systems
- A consensus document from the ICC working group bandages

Training of applying compression bandages and bandaging systems
- Important questions for this topic are:
  what needs to be trained? for whom? by whom? where? a manual? a consensus document? the role of industry?
  (it would be nice of you could come with some (preferable written) thoughts on these questions or any other question that I did not include)

in Rengsdorf
Topic
Discussion of the final version of the publication "In vitro measurements of compression bandages and
bandage systems: a review of existing methods and recommendations for improvement" by Jan Schuren
Discussion of the differences between in-vitro- and in-vivo-Stiffness-values

May 18, 2013

8.30 - 12.00h
Crown Plaza Copenhagen Towers
Oerestads Boulevard 114-118
Copenhagen S 2300

Topic
Discussion of boundary conditions and requirements of in vivo and in vitro measurement.
We already set up a list of parameters for measuerment and would like to find suggestions and
defaults for the values of these parameters.
For a reproducible Measurement of Stiffness a reproducible Wrapping of the Bandage(s) is mandatory.
Mr. Eugene Peeters from Veldhoven; NL, and one of his colleagues will present an hand held device
and a robot for automatically wrapping of bandage to a (human) leg.
