Medical compression
Compression for EDS and severe burns
Medical compression plays an important role in the care of certain complex conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and severe burns.
It improves comfort, protects fragile tissues and supports a better quality of life.
Compression and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)
EDS is a connective tissue disease causing hypermobility, joint pain, instability, proprioceptive disorders and fragile skin.
Compression can be a valuable complementary aid.
Benefits of compression for EDS
- Stabilisation of certain joints
- Improved proprioception
- Reduced muscle and joint pain
- Less fatigue linked to hypermobility
- A feeling of support and security when moving
Types of compression used
- Soft sleeves, knee supports and ankle supports with light to moderate compression
- Compression garments (leg sleeves, leggings, tops) for overall support
- Soft, stretchy materials suited to fragile skin
These devices do not replace rehabilitation, but provide everyday support.
Compression and severe burns
For people with severe burns, compression is an essential part of post-burn treatment, to promote good-quality healing.
Aims of post-burn compression
- Limit hypertrophic scarring
- Gradually flatten scars
- Reduce itching, pain and redness
- Improve skin suppleness
- Prevent scar contractures
Compression devices used
- Made-to-measure compression garments (sleeves, trousers, vests, hoods, etc.)
- Suitable, even pressure depending on where the burn is
- Specific anti-irritation, breathable and hard-wearing textiles for prolonged wear
- Regular adjustments as healing progresses
Compression must be worn for many hours a day, over several months, to achieve the best result.
