Case study: night compression use in a patient with Milroy's disease.

Aim: Lymphoedema is associated with dysfunctional lymphatics, tissue fibrosis and inflammatory changes in the skin and local tissue. Ensuring compression supports tissue health is crucial to managing lymphoedema. Providing patients with safe compression which enhances their tissue health is paramount when supporting their 24-hour self-management regimens.

Examination of the effects of a new compression garment on skin tissue oxygenation in healthy volunteers.

Objective: Compression devices have been shown to reduce venous stasis, increase blood flow and skin tissue oxygenation (StO), promoting healthy tissue. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of a new compression garment in three different positions in healthy adults.

Methods: In this quantitative study, potential participants were screened and recruited using the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q, Canada).
