Artiflex Foam Pads And Padding For Lymphedema

The BSN Medical Artiflex foam padding for bandages, are used for management of chronic and acute lymphedema, venous edema, and other venous conditions. The fine non-woven structure of Artiflex synthetic foam pads and padding allows them to easily conform to all limb shapes and bony prominences, creating a cushion for limb and bony areas. The Artiflex foam padding for bandages helps prevent sharp indentations and skin irritations, which might otherwise be caused by compression bandages during wrapping for lymphedema. The Artiflex padding is often used in conjunction with Comprilan short stretch compression bandages and Tricofix stockinette during lymphedema therapy.
