Advancements in the research of pressure testing methods for medical bandages
In response to issues arising from healthcare practitioners relying on their own experience for the application of pressure bandages,resulting in inaccurate pressure levels applied to patients'lower extremities and failing to meet therapeutic requirements,the current state of research on pressure bandage testing methods is examined.The research status of bandage pressure testing methods is analyzed from the aspects of pressure product testing standards,pressure testing devices,testing models,and pressure measurement points within the context of the existing landscape of pressure bandage products.The investigation reveals that existing pressure bandage testing standards do not encompass indices related to interface pressure and pressure attenuation rate applied by the bandage.Moreover,there is a lack of dedicated models for pressure bandage testing,and relying solely on the Laplace equation for interface pressure calculation overlooks limitations associated with bandage thickness and the soft-tissue characteristics of the limb.Ultimately,it is suggested that future efforts consider implementing pressure bandage testing through three avenues:the design of product labeling for pressure bandages,the development of specialized testing models,and the expansion of pressure testing criteria.This approach aims to aid healthcare professionals in applying accurate pressure,effectively mitigating the risks associated with improper pressure levels that may lead to delayed patient recovery or exacerbation of the condition.
