1. Developed revised wrap design in cotton only.
Design file for wraps version 3 lives here: (Lymphedema_wraps3.pdf)
https://github.com/astridav/Lymphedema
The ivory section of the file shows the cotton cut.
Laser cut settings on the 60W Epilog laser were the same for both materials, 100speed/40 power/50 frequence
2. Medical tape will be used to hold the end of the wraps on the foot.
3. Delivered 8 initial test cuts of wraps to Karen Lombardi, our RN to test on the subjects feet.
4. Karen wrapped subject 1 - Jon in the wraps. The wraps were longer and thinner than previous versions, and worked better.
Initial results showed some promising swelling reduction, with most toes seeing 3-6mm (6mm on the big toe) in size reduction from a 24 hour wrap period. Cotton wraps caused no reaction to the sensitive skin in this timeframe.
5. Design changes were requested. We move on to a revised design- design 4, with additional fabric for the big toe wrapping.
