1.	Varicose Ulcer (Ulcer, Venous) 01/01/2002 - "There was no significant improvement in venous ulcer healing using higher compression elastic bandages." 03/01/1993 - "Our results uphold the commonly held clinical opinion that only compression bandages or strong stockings are effective in the treatment of venous ulcers. " 12/01/1999 - "The studies reviewed provide reasonable evidence that venous ulcers can be healed with the use of compression wraps and that various wraps are effective when used with correct assessment, application, and fit by the caregiver, along with compliance and mobility of the patient." 11/01/2012 - "We evaluated the safety and efficacy of 3L tubular bandage compared with short-stretch compression bandage to heal venous ulcers in a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. " 08/01/2015 - "A study of the Unna Boot compared with the elastic bandage in venous ulcers: a randomized clinical trial."
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 11/01/2003 - "Compression bandages or stockings form the mainstay of treatment, generally in combination with moist dressings for chronic wounds." 12/01/2015 - "Based on our clinical experience with postoperative wound care after TAA, use of a compression wrap protocol was safe and effective at reducing wound-related complications, and well tolerated by patients. " 01/01/2014 - "This paper presents the development of an improved mobile-based telemetric dual mode sensing system to monitor pressure and moisture levels in compression bandages and dressings used for chronic wound management. " 12/01/2015 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical differences in wound complications after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) between a cohort of patients that received a compression wrap protocol and a historical control group treated with cast immobilization. " 12/01/2015 - "There were significantly more total wound complications (P = .02) and mild wound complications (P = .02) in the casted group compared to the compression wrap group. "
3.	Leg Ulcer 09/16/1989 - "We concluded that ambulatory care of leg ulcer, including compression bandages and injection sclerotherapy, is effective in the great majority of cases. " 05/01/1998 - "This trial was undertaken to examine the safety and efficacy of four-layer compared with short stretch compression bandages for the treatment of venous leg ulcers within the confines of a prospective, randomised, ethically approved trial. " 11/01/1999 - "The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of two types of compression bandage with different degrees of elasticity on healing of venous leg ulcers. " 03/08/2014 - "Clinical and cost-effectiveness of compression hosiery versus compression bandages in treatment of venous leg ulcers (Venous leg Ulcer Study IV, VenUS IV): a randomised controlled trial." 02/01/2014 - "The purpose of this study was to conduct a randomised controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of a four-layer compression bandage system and Class 3 compression hosiery on healing and quality of life (QL) in patients with venous leg ulcers. "
4.	Ulcer 01/01/2015 - "A significantly greater reduction in mean percent ulcer area from baseline to 12 weeks was associated with the incorporation of ACT1 therapy (79% (SD 50.4)) as compared with compression bandage therapy alone (36% (SD 179.8); P=0.02). " 06/01/1998 - "In legs with saphenous reflux alone all ulcers healed without compression bandages at a median of 81 (range 14-253) days and the pressure relief index (PRI) improved significantly both after surgery and at follow-up. " 07/01/1998 - "The ulcer improved after the third skin graft, probably mainly due to effective treatment with a long-stretch compression bandage." 01/01/2014 - "Patient-reported compliance rates were reported in both trials;,there was significantly higher compliance with medium-compression than with high-compression hosiery in one and no significant difference in the second.A fourth trial (166 patients) found no statistically significant difference in recurrence between two types of medium (UK class 2) compression hosiery (Medi versus Scholl: RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.2).No trials of compression bandages for preventing ulcer recurrence were identified. " 01/01/2013 - "During 6 months of follow up the patients using the special knee-length socks ULCER X were found to have 80 % of ulcers healed (16 patients), mainly within the first 2 months, whereas using elastic bandages resulted in only 30 % of healing (6 patients) by the end of the study. "
5.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/1999 - "Preliminary results from an ongoing randomised trial comparing bed-rest, compression bandages and compression stockings in the acute phase of proximal DVT demonstrate faster improvement of swelling and of pain in the compression-groups. " 01/01/2015 - "The use of a short-stretch, inelastic compression bandage is hypothesised to reduce knee swelling and improve pain and early function. " 10/01/2012 - "Major results include identification of patient characteristics to predict length of stay and satisfaction with different aspects of the hospital stay (I); how to optimize analgesia by using a compression bandage in total knee arthroplasty (II); the clinical and organizational set-up facilitating or acting as barriers for early discharge (III); safety aspects following fast-track in the form of few readmissions in general (IV) and few thromboembolic complications in particular (V); feasibility studies showing excellent outcomes following fast-track bilateral simultaneous total knee arthroplasty (VI) and non-septic revision knee arthroplasty (VII); how acute pain relief in total hip arthroplasty is not enhanced by the use of local infiltration analgesia when multi-modal opioid-sparing analgesia is given (VIII); and a detailed description of which clinical and organizational factors detain patients in hospital following fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty (IX). " 06/15/2012 - "Patients should wear a lace-up ankle support or an air stirrup brace combined with an elastic compression wrap to reduce swelling and pain, speed recovery, and protect the injured ligaments as they become more mobile. " 11/01/2009 - "Elastic bandages may induce pain or purpuric lesions. "
