ABSTRACT
When further phlebectomy or sclerotherapy sessions are scheduled within
1 week, the adhesive bandage and compression pads applied at the previous
session are removed, whereas the protective underwrap and band-aids are
left in place (Fig. 12.1). The adhesive bandage is then reapplied directly over
the underwrap, without local compression pads. If there is any pain or bleeding,
the underwrap is also removed, so that the leg may be directly examined; if there
is induration, local compression pads are reapplied.
