General information
An elastic bandage is designed to produce contention or compression used to improve oedema re-absorption and to prevent post-operative thrombosis. This type of bandage can cause severe tissue damage if applied incorrectly.
A compression bandage should not be applied to patients who have marked ischemia or an impaired arterial blood supply.
Suitable for tibia stump (size 10cm) and for femoral stump (12-15cm).
