An introduction to a new direct testing method for characterizing pressure in compression fabrics
Kwon, C., Hegarty, M., Oxenham, W., Thoney-Barletta, K., Grant, E., & Reid, L. (2019). An introduction to a new direct testing method for characterizing pressure in compression fabrics. Journal of the Textile Institute, 110(6), 822-831. https://doi.org/10.1080/00405000.2018.1527966
A newly developed direct pressure measuring system known as the CRIM Pressure System was compared with a traditional direct measuring device, the PicoPress Compression System, for compression bandage and hosiery samples. PicoPress measurements were taken both on the CRIM system and on research participants. Initial results indicated a good correlation between CRIM Pressure System and PicoPress participants' measurements.
