- Title
A community nursing guide: multilayer lymphoedema bandaging.
- Authors
Hopkins, Anita
- Abstract
Multi-layer lymphoedema bandaging (MLLB) has been clinically proven to reduce oedema, improve skin complications and reduce infection. MLLB differs from four layer bandaging traditionally used to treat leg ulceration. This article identifies some of the differences between the two methods, suggests when best to use MLLB, describes an MLLB technique and considers the implications for training.
