The Farmalastic elastic bandage is a medical device specifically used for compressive bandages for venous processes, any type of muscle injury or for holding dressings. It measures 4.5 x 10 cm. It is latex and silicone free.
The Farmalastic elastic bandage is an ideal compression bandage for bandaging in cases of muscular injuries, fractures, sprains and even in the case of venous processes. It is also very useful to be used in adhesion or support of splints or any kind of dressings. It has elastic qualities to allow a correct compression in the area to be placed or in case of slight immobilisations. Some of the advantages of this type of bandage is that it can adhere to itself thanks to its type of fabric and its fine adhesive mass on both sides, which allows it to maintain its position without slipping.
In addition, it does not tend to stick to the skin and can be removed and modified as often as necessary without any problem and without losing its compressive capacity. This cohesive band from Farmalastic effectively maintains its compression effect and is very easy to put on. Its fabric is soft and pleasant to the skin. It measures 4.5 x 10 cm, which makes it ideal for large bandages. It is marketed in a faint and characteristic white colour.
Farmalastic white cohesive elastic bandage is indicated for light compressive bandages, venous insufficiency, muscular injuries, sprains, fractures or sprains in the arm, forearm, hand, thigh and leg.
Farmaciasdirect recommends applying the bandage completely wrapping the affected area of the body. It is advisable to start the bandage always in the most distant part of the heart in the direction of the venous circulation and being guided by a professional in the area, since a bad understanding could cause serious risks or complications, such as an inadequate pressure on the tissues that can affect the circulation. To differentiate this type of complication, it is necessary to observe if the fingers or toes become slightly cyanotic, i.e. if they begin to show a blue-purple colour and become cold.
Do not use in case of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the materials of which the bandage is made. Do not use in case of diabetes or arterial diseases. Do not use in case of irritated skin. Do not store in places with sources of humidity. Do not exert strong compression on the lesion. Keep the cohesive band away from children.
