Anti-slip anchoring system for leg compression bandaging in phlebological practice

The bandage remains a very important instrument in daily phlebological practice, but making a good bandage is not always easy, especially in the presence of an unfavorable anatomy of the leg (inverted conical shape). One of the most common problems is the downward sliding of the bandages, which can also fold and create a lace effect. An anti-slip anchor, consisting of two turns of an acrylic glue bandage (this glue being practically hypoallergenic) or a cohesive bandage, placed below the knee, can help solving this inconvenience. This solution is very simple and effective according to the Authors' long-lasting experience. A clinical study on 50 patients confirms this efficacy.
