SocknLeg - a User Friendly Medical Compression Study of a Modified Application of a Medical Device (Socknleg)

December 1, 2015 updated by: University of Zurich
The study intends to investigate a novel compression system termed Socknleg composed of an understocking covering the foot with three added stockings extending from the ankle to the knee without covering the foot. The novel Socknleg system is compared to a standard class III compression stocking.

Detailed Description

The investigator tests a novel compression system termed Socknleg in 20 healthy individuals and 20 patients with chronic venous disease. Socknleg is composed of an understocking covering the foot with three added stockings extending from the ankle to the knee without covering the foot. The novel Socknleg system is compared to a standard class III compression stocking. Outcome measures are successful donning and the comparison of interface pressure measured on the level of the ankle.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Donning success.
Time Frame: Successful donning has to be completed within 5 minutes.
Ability to fully done the investigated compression devices.
Successful donning has to be completed within 5 minutes.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Interface pressure
Time Frame: Interface pressure is measured within 5 minutes of complete donning of the stocking.
Interface pressure of the compression systems is measured at level cB1 (transition of the Achilles tendon to the calf muscle) in mmHg by a pressure measuring device termed Picopress® . Interface pressure is compared between the novel compression system and the comparator, a class III compression stocking.
Interface pressure is measured within 5 minutes of complete donning of the stocking.
