Working in partnership with patients to promote concordance with compression bandaging.

Patients may be tempted to remove their compression bandages if they find them uncomfortable, particularly at night. Working in partnership with patients to select bandages that they find tolerable and then applying them in a way that promotes comfort will encourage concordance with this therapy.
