AB - Objective:Compression pressure (CP) measurement is necessary as it represents the dosage of compression therapy (CT). It is almost always neglected, leading to a poor understanding of compression outcomes, especially when applying bandages or wraps. This work aims to present a measuring compression device validation system and underline the clinical impact of CP measurement.Method:The tested device was submitted to validation tests to assess its accuracy, linearity and repeatability. The tests included measuring the pressure under a known weight, along and on the bottom of a water column, in parallel with a sphygmomanometer and under a sphygmomanometer applied to a plastic tube, as well as to a human leg.Results:The tested device showed good concordance with the theoretical pressure exerted by a known weight, water, a sphygmomanometer cuff, and when paralleled to a sphygmomanometer.Conclusion:The tested device provided accurate, linear and repeatable data in all tested conditions. Its use is recommended to improve healthcare providers' skills in applying the correct pressure and to increase the scientific value of studies on CT.
