Main Components Of The Full Leg Compression Bandaging Kit

Each item in the bandaging kit plays an important role in the effective treatment and management of lymphedema and edema:

Tubular Stockinette: The tubular stockinette is the first layer of compression bandaging, and it helps protect the skin from the pressure caused by the foam padding and the short stretch compression bandages.

Foam Padding and Foam Roll: Foam padding plays an important role in a multi-layered compression bandaging system by creating pressure and breaking up concentrations of heavy lymph fluid.

Short Stretch Compression Bandages: Short stretch compression bandages help create the working pressure needed to treat lymphedema and prevent the expansion of swelling or edema. Because these bandages simultaneously provide pressure and expand, they help move lymphatic fluid out of the leg. There are 3 different sizes of short stretch compression bandages included in the kit.
