Inelastic (short-stretch) compression bandage
Treatment and management of venous leg ulcers, lymphoedema and chronic oedema. Suitable for mobile and immobile patients, and those with an ABPI of 0.8–1.3. An ABPI of between 0.5 and ≥0.8 or >1.3 requires further investigation before use (please refer to local guidelines).
ABPI <0.8. Only use under strict medical supervision. Not suitable for ankle circumference of <18cm unless padding is used to increase it to ≥18cm. Caution required when cardiac overload is suspected and/or diabetes, advanced small vessel disease, arterial disease, renal failure or rheumatoid arthritis is present. Do not use if there is known sensitivity to the bandage.
Two-layer compression system that offers therapeutical compression and manages skin conditions at the same time. The first layer, infused with calamine, soothes and protects the skin, reducing irritation and maintaining skin integrity. The second layer delivers consistent therapeuticsl compression.
Two thin layers provide the stiffness required to generate sustained working pressures/low resting pressures to reduce oedema/prevent venous reflux without the bulk of traditional bandages. The interlocking layers cohere to each other, creating an inelastic sleeve that conforms to the limb and reduces the potential for bandage slippage and discomfort.
Designed for reduced compression. Two thin layers provide the stiffness required to generate sustained working pressures/low resting pressures to reduce oedema/prevent venous reflux without the bulk of traditional bandages. The interlocking layers cohere to each other, creating an inelastic sleeve that conforms to the limb and reduces the potential for bandage slippage and discomfort.
Two-layer system (green packaging) designed for sustained, therapeutic compression with reduced sub-bandage resting pressures. Comprises a latex-free foam padding layer and a latex-free, cohesive, compression bandage. Once applied, the two layers bond to form a single-layer bandage. Can be worn for up to 7 days.
