Haddenham Easywrap: an alternative to compression bandaging in chronic oedema and wound care
Natalie Lee, Sue Lawrance. Chronic Oedema April 2019
Haddenham Easywrap has been available since 2016 and since then case studies have been presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the product in clinical practice. The aim of the article is to demonstrate how its use in chronic oedema, and wound care is beneficial and cost effective and how versatile one product can be in treating both of these conditions. Information gained from the evaluation of easywrap in wound care and management of chronic oedema, demonstrates that easywrap can be a suitable cost effective alternative to traditional compression therapy modalities, whilst improving concordance and quality of life.
Main findings
- Easywrap can be effectively used in the intensive or maintenance phase of treatment in chronic oedema and venous disease.
- Self-management with easywrap can improve skin care and enhance wound healing.
- Using a system of self-management empowers patients to take back control of their condition.
- Easywrap is easy to apply and provides consistent, graduated compression.
- After 4 weeks, the cost of using easywrap becomes comparable with that of some bandaging kits, and by 12 weeks, the cost meets that of most bandaging kits and regimes.
