compression systems, eg two- or four-layer bandaging, or compression hosiery. This system
has two layers, is quick and easy to apply [1] and produces effective, consistent pressure that
effectively manages oedema [2-4]. The 3M™ Coban™ 2 Compression System also demonstrates
reduced slippage[5] and is suitable for a wide range of patients [6]. This article describes why, when and how to effectively and safely use this system.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Lymphoedema following breast cancer treatment is characterised by an accumulation of lymph fluid in the affected limb, leading to abnormal swelling. Meticulous daily skin care forms an integral part of lymphoedema risk reduction and also prevents skin breakdown. This article examines an innovative skin care programme that aims to improve the condition of patients’ skin and prevent skin injury. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Oedema can exist as a result of many pathological disease processes. In patients with lymphovenous disease there is evidence that disease progresses from relatively minor signs and symptoms to more severe debilitating conditions if left untreated. When early signs are recognised and treatment is implemented at an early stage, it may be possible to prevent or slow the progression of disease. This article describes the use of a disease progression tool that helps identify early signs of disease so that early treatments can be initiated. It also looks at patient assessment and treatment options. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Skin disease such as venous eczema and tinea pedis are often overlooked as primary causes of lower limb cellulitis. This article will look at the management of these two common skin conditions as well
as the diagnosis and management of lower limb cellulitis. Kilburn et al (2003) acknowledge that the
treatment of cellulitis is multiciplinary stating that no one speciality can claim the condition as their field and the Clinical Resource Efficiency Support Team (CREST, 2005) recommend that key staff in an integrated cellulitis pathway should include dermatologists. The article will give details of a dermatologyled lower-limb cellulitis service which demonstrates a best practice initiative which avoids unecessary
hospitalisation, incorrect diagnoses and also helps to reduce the risk of recurrent cellulitis.]]></description>
