The adjustable compression device juxtacures is an effective alternative to traditional compression bandaging. Thanks to the four interlacing bands with hook and loop fasteners the donning and doffing is very fast and simple. With the help of the integrated circaid Built-In-Pressure System (BPS) the required compression range can be adjusted and measured exactly. The ability to readjust but keep the therapeutic range of compression prevents the device from sliding down. The results over the wearing period to consistent and effective compression therapy improving the condition in the underlying tissues. Studies prove that treatment with adjustable compression devices offers faster healing rates of venous leg ulcers compared to traditional compression bandaging. (1, 2)
Additionally, juxtacures offers time- and cost-savings:
- Cost reduction of wound dressings: 55.5 % (3)
- Cost reduction of compression material: 72.3 % (3)
- Reduction of nursing time: 58,7 % (3)
- Cost savings in treatment due to faster healing rates (1, 2)
Studies prove: ”adjustable compression devices represent a further advancement of compression therapy for VLUs [venous leg ulcers] treatment”.(4)
