Compression therapy is an extremely effective treatment modality, the efficiency of which is often underestimated or neglected.
Unfortunately there is a lack of training everywhere in the world to various degrees and education as well as theoretical knowledge and practical skill for compression providers is usually very poor.

Having participated in international medical conferences all over the industrialised world the ICC has gained some experiences on basic compression knowledge in these regions.

In addition to keeping on with educational compression courses in industrialised countries the ICC has come to the conclusion that education in developing countries is even less available.

These countries often have an enormous population with rapidly growing wealth, economy and quality of life while still representing a virtually untapped marked for many “western” companies.

Needs and expectations of the population and healthcare professionals are increasing by the day, making this the perfect time for a more widespread focus on non-emergency care like compression.

While many companies already have agents or subsidiaries in these countries, the market often hasn’t reached its potential yet due to the lack of educated professionals and caregivers, who are usually inexperienced.
