abstract = {Objective: The sub bandage pressure results from a complex interaction between the bandage types,
applied tension, number of layers and surface hardness. In this paper, three parameters i.e. hardness
of the limb, stretch (%) and number of bandage layers are changed at three levels and their individual
and interactive effect on the sub bandage pressure for different types of high compression bandages is
studied. Method: The study has been conducted on two types of high compression bandages (woven
and knitted) using the Box-Behnken Design. The data obtained for sub bandage pressure of bandage
samples on three plastic tubes with layer of foam of varying hardness is used to carry out response
surface regression analysis and analysis of variance to find the contribution of each parameter on the sub
bandage pressure for high compression bandages. Results: The effect of hardness is significant specifically
in the case of woven bandages with some interactive effects with stretch (%) in knitted bandages. The
sub bandage pressure increases with the increase in stretch% for all the samples but larger pressure
differences were observed for increase in stretch % for limbs with higher hardness. The sub bandage
pressure also increases with the number of bandage layers but a linear relationship was not observed
between sub bandage pressure and the number of layers at low stretch %. The regression equations for
various responses agree well with the experimental data as indicated by higher values of coefficient of
determination. Conclusion: The number of layers and the stretch % contribute substantially towards
the sub bandage pressure for both woven and knitted bandages. The contribution of hardness of the
limb is found to be insignificant for knitted bandage sample which has the tightest structure and high
initial modulus. The regression equations generated for various responses can be used to predict the sub
bandage pressure of bandages during application of high stretch bandages.},
