Summary

This study's purpose is to research the effect that a compression bandage application has on the skin when applied over an area that has a wound. To better understand the healing process, special cameras and other devices will be used to measure the change in the wound and limb size, temperature of the skin around the wound, amount of oxygen in the tissue around the wound, and the amount of water in the skin before and after a compression bandage is applied. This research will involve two different compression bandage applications, both of which are standard of care.
