CompriFoam Foam Padding Bandage is ideal for padding under compression bandages for phenological and lymphological indications, as well as under plaster and synthetic casts in orthopedic settings. It is designed to evenly distribute the pressure from compression bandages over extremities, thus preventing constrictions and ensuring an effective compression therapy. Open-cell foam creates compression padding The non-slip texture of the foam also makes applying the compression bandage easier. Apply as a layer over stockinette and under a compression bandage or under plaster and synthetic casts to provide additional padding. Apply under compression bandages to even out the circumference of limbs for more even pressure distribution.

Features

• Pressure Distribution: Ensures even pressure distribution under compression bandages, promoting effective therapy.
• Moisture Permeability: Allows air and moisture to pass through, enhancing comfort during wear.
• Secure Placement: Non-sliding design with interlocking open pores prevents slipping, ensuring stability.
• Durable Construction: Tear-resistant material provides long-lasting use, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Ease of Application: Does not crease, making it easy for patients to self-bandage and ensuring a smooth application process.
• Anatomical Conformity: Conforms to body contours, allowing for freedom of movement and enhanced comfort.
• Resilience: Resistant to body oils, lotions, and perspiration, maintaining its effectiveness over time.
• Reusable: Can be used multiple times, providing cost-effective padding for medical procedures.
• Serializability: This may be steam sterilized for hygiene purposes, ensuring patient safety.

Directions for Use

1. Lymphedema Treatment: Apply to help reduce edema and increase tissue pressure, preventing re-accumulation of fluid.
2. Compression Bandaging: Use under compression bandages like Comprilan® to ensure consistent pressure distribution.
3. Orthopedic Applications: Apply as padding under plaster and synthetic casts for added comfort and protection.

Cautions

• Cover any open wounds with an appropriate dressing.
• Yellowing, if it occurs, should not affect performance.

Application Method

1. Begin bandaging at the ankle and continue bandaging laterally.
2. Cover midfoot and dorsum with one layer, bringing the bandage to the base of the toes.
3. Move the bandage transversely toward the heel.
4. Continue spiraling the bandage toward the calf muscle, overlapping each turn by half the bandage width.
5. Finish bandaging approximately two fingers width below the tibial tuberosity.
