The professionals responsible for treating patients with varicose ulcer should be competent in the selection and application of compression therapy along with the patient's individual needs. For that, it is necessary to know the performance of the products. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of two compression systems bandages in the treatment of varicose ulcer. METHODS: descriptive case study of product evaluation with follow-up by 12 weeks of patients older than 20 years, medical diagnosis of varicose ulcers, ankle-brachial index (ABI) > 0.8 and measures of ankle circumference between 18 and 25 cm or 25 and 32 cm. The performance variables were the percentage of change in the area; leg edema; bandage slip; adverse events. RESULTS: The participants were obese, older than 36 years, ABI = 1, leg edema, calf/ankle circumference ratio of 1.5, reduced range of ankle motion, ulcers with an area from 1.0 to 5.4 cm². CONCLUSION: the variables used are suitable for performance assessment of compression systems with regard to the percentage of change in the area; leg edema; bandage slip; adverse event (necrosis of the skin) and the analyzed two-component system may be an appropriate therapy for the treatment of varicose ulcer in clinical practice in Brazil.Downloads
