In order to achieve the required functional result, which they want to achieve from the use of an elastic compression bandage, it is important to observe the following requirements for elastic bandaging of the lower extremities:

• Elastic bandaging should be done in the morning, before getting out of bed, preferably lying in bed.
• The bandage must be applied when the back of the foot is flexed, in uniform coils without folds, to prevent injury to the skin when moving.
• The bandage is always necessary to start from the proximal joints of the toes with the obligatory heel bandaging and the formation of a coil of so-called bandage. the lock that will exclude sliding of bandage when walking.
• The roll of the bandage is necessary to unwind out in the immediate vicinity of the skin, which will prevent the bandage from over-stretching and creating too high a compression.
• Each round of the bandage should overlap the previous one by 30 - 50%.
• For a better fixation of the elastic bandage on the limb, especially on the hip, it is necessary to use the overlay of the bandage alternately in the ascending and descending directions with the formation of so-called.Christmas trees.
• The proximal compression edge should be 10-15 cm higher than the zone of valve insufficiency of the limb segment.
• When applying an elastic bandage in places of natural deformation (ankle area) of the limb shape, it is necessary to simulate the cylindrical profile of the limb using latex and foam rollers.

When the compression bandage is correctly applied at rest, the tips of the fingers slightly turn blue, and at the beginning of the movement they restore their normal color. After applying the elastic bandage, the patient is asked to walk for 20-30 minutes. The occurrence of numbness of the toes, the feeling of pulsation under the bandages, the appearance of pain mean the wrong choice of the degree of compression of the elastic band and the need for its correction.
