2023 journal article

Female firefighters' increased risk of occupational exposure due to ill-fitting personal protective clothing

FRONTIERS IN MATERIALS, 10.

By: M. McQuerry *, C. Kwon n  & M. Poley-Bogan*

author keywords: female firefighter; personal protective clothing; turnout gear; wildland; protection; fit; sizing
TL;DR: Overall results indicate female firefighters are wearing PPC with significant fit issues that not only reduce their comfort and restrict their mobility but pose increased safety risks related to occupational exposure. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

An indirect testing approach for characterizing pressure profiles of compression bandages and hosiery

JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE, 109(2), 256–267.

By: C. Kwon n , M. Hegarty  n, W. Oxenham n, K. Thoney-Barletta  n, E. Grant n & L. Reid

author keywords: Compression medical textiles; compression garments; interface pressure; tensile properties; body measurement
TL;DR: An indirect approach for measuring pressure from a set of compression bandages and hosiery was developed, from which rigidity (EI) values were determined, and tension–elongation curves and pressure-elongation data were calculated. (via Semantic Scholar)

Simulated pressure changes in multilayer, multicomponent wrap systems when transitioning from rest to standing

JOURNAL OF WOUND CARE, 24(9), S14–S20.

By: M. Hegarty-Craver  n, E. Grant  n, S. Kravitz*, C. Kwon n  & L. Reid

author keywords: compression therapy; multilayer bandage systems; Laplace's law; 2-layer compression; 4-layer compression
