Implication

This observational study shows the compression system reduced leg volume in participants with pitting oedema, suggesting it remains effective in challenging conditions.

Key Points

A significant reduction in mean leg volume by 81ml was observed after four hours of wearing the compression system.
The static stiffness index increased significantly from 13mmHg to 15.9mmHg after four hours (p<0.001), indicating improved leg support.
Participants reported a high comfort level (mean visual analogue scale score: 8), despite the hot environment they were in.
The compression system maintained an interface pressure of 45±3mmHg, aiding in the management of oedema.
