High-Stretch Lauma Medical Compression Bandage: 3m x 8cm
Description: The Lauma high-stretch compression bandage is a woven elastic fabric with over 170% extensibility. Available in a natural color, it’s designed for targeted compression therapy on various body parts. Benefits include graduated compression, durability (maintains properties after washing), and comfortable wear.
Benefits & Uses:
- Creates consistent, even pressure on limb tissues.
- Reduces blood flow to a specific area.
- Minimizes tissue deformation and stretching of muscles and ligaments.
- Supports weakened veins, preventing overfilling during contraction.
- Provides support and reduces stress on the musculoskeletal system during injury or intense activity.
- Alleviates swelling, pain, and heaviness in the legs, including during cramps.
Medical Indications:
- Treatment and prevention of varicose veins in the upper and lower extremities via compression therapy.
- Prevention or alleviation of venous disorders.
- Thromboembolism prevention before and after surgery; prevention of hematoma formation post-surgery.
- Treatment of inflammatory and dystrophic joint diseases.
- Treatment and prevention of injuries; fixation of upper and lower limb joints for dislocations and sprains.
- Prevention and treatment of sports injuries (reduces muscle strain in the knee, elbow, foot, and hand during sports).
- Recommended for strenuous physical activity and athletic pursuits.
Possible Side Effects:
Use of the elastic bandage is generally safe when used as directed. Potential side effects include ineffective application, skin irritation/friction, swelling, and numbness. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
Application:
The bandage can be used for both short and long-term wear. Consult your doctor regarding the appropriate application method and duration. The wearing time and schedule (including rest periods) should be determined by your physician.
When applying, each subsequent wrap should overlap the previous one by approximately 2/3. (See examples below – *Note: Examples would ideally be included here with images.*) Monitor the pressure; discomfort or pain indicates incorrect application. Observe skin color (feet, hands, fingers). White or bluish discoloration and numbness indicate excessive tightness. Remove and reapply, reducing stretch. Choose the appropriate length and width based on the limb circumference (knee, elbow, foot, or hand) with your healthcare professional’s guidance.
Storage and Transportation:
Store and transport in areas with temperatures between 5°C and 25°C and humidity levels of 50% to 70%, at atmospheric pressure of 630-800 mm Hg. Keep at least 1 meter away from heating appliances and protect from direct sunlight and atmospheric influences.
