There are two kinds of bandages commonly used by doctors for compression therapy: long stretch compression bandages and short stretch compression bandages. Comprilan bandages are short stretch compression bandages. These bandages are generally used to manage venous leg ulcers, edema and lymphoededma. They are also used to provide protection for small wounds and cuts. Generally, Comprilan bandages are used in:
Comprilan compression bandages apply consistent pressure on the area so that there is no discomfort or pain even when the body is at rest. Thus, the bandage provides excellent resting pressure and can be worn safely even when the person is asleep. At the same time, short stretch bandages have the unique ability to resist any movement or change caused by internal movement of muscles and joints. To enable this, Comprilan bandages can stretch only to 90% of its length, that is, a little less than its actual length. This is quite unlike a long stretch bandage that can be stretched to almost three times its length. In this way, Comprilan provides double protection to the affected area by applying sufficient working pressure while providing excellent resting pressure.
When Comprilan bandages are applied in a spiral manner, they provide gradient compression. That means, the wearer will experience a good level of consistent compression. This is particularly useful in conditions that need constant care, like leg ulcers.
Comprilan bandages may also be used in cases of slight pain and swelling in the leg. Because the bandage can prevent edema and the collection of fluids in the affected area, the bandage can bring about easy healing. However, Comprilan bandages are not for all. They cannot be used by patients who have a brachial pressure index below .5 in their ankles. Similarly, patients suffering from advanced vessel disease must also avoid this product. In these cases, the bandage may restrict blood flow leading to complications. Although the bandage can be kept on even when the patient is sleeping, ideally, it must be applied early in the day and removed just before bedtime.
Comprilan bandages are available in tan color and are washable and reusable. Because of this, Comprilan bandages can retain their properties even after the bandage is washed and dried. In this way, the bandage can be applied time and again.
