By using Maximal Bulk of the limb ,one
of the 8 girth measurements, we estimate
the no. of bandages.
The regression model for estimating no.
of compression bandages needed is
E.g.., if maximal bulk is 45 cm, no. of
bandages needed for that patient are 4.

Rolling back of long stretch bandages in upper part cause
constriction effect

Slipping of compression bandages in to large crevasses cause constriction
