Compression bandage is the most useful tool for the treatment of venous ulcers. It is important but difficult to know the pressure of the elastic bandage. Fifteen nurses tried to the accurate interface pressure. They were allowed to try five times. In first trial, the mean of the pressure was 41.8±20.2 mmHg, and 26.7±9.0 mmHg in second, 30.1±6.8 mmHg in third, 31.4±6.8 mmHg in fourth, and 28.4±8.2 mmHg in the end of the trial. At the six months later when the same trial was done, the mean pressure was 29.9±10.2 mmHg. The training using ParmQTM was useful for accurate interface pressure of elastic bandage.
