ECCENTRIC compression is recommended for the immediate post injection period following the treatment of medium to large veins.

A compression pad and bandage are placed over the injected vein to provide eccentric compression. The pad is kept in place for 3-7 days to reduce thrombus formation.

Generally a Class 2 compression stocking is placed over the pad and bandage and is worn continuously for 1 week and then during the day for a further 2 weeks
