Sažetak

Compression therapy is the main therapeutic modality in the treatment of lymphedema and its complications. Compression therapy is performed with various elastic and non-elastic materials which, based on their properties, induce active or passive compression when the patient is walking as well as in rest. The choice of bandage depends on the stage of lymphedema. The pressures under the bandage depend not only on the material,
but also on the force employed for compression, number of layers and coverage of particular bandages, as well on bandage method.
