Farmalastic Elastic Bandage 5X10 is adhesive and is designed to exert a delicate and homogeneous compression on the tissue around a specific injury. Its use helps to reduce inflammation, pain and offers support to the area requiring immobilisation. These bandages are often used to stimulate circulation and improve blood flow. They are useful for wrapping a limb that is splinted and protecting it while it finishes healing when it has been fractured.
These elastic bandages help to keep dressings and compresses (hot or cold) in place. When applied to protect an ankle, knee or wrist, they should not be tightened excessively, as this can disrupt blood flow and cause swelling in the affected area. This product is beneficial in treating injuries to which athletes are exposed when practising or competing. They can be used to provide compression for tendon inflammation (tendonitis) and to limit movement of the affected limb or area for faster recovery.
When injuries require the patient to be immobilised, these bandages prevent any sudden or unexpected movement from causing further injury. The material they are made of is of high quality and resistance and does not lose its compression characteristics, even after several washings and some time of use. Its composition with zinc oxide favours the relief of varicose ulcers by keeping the wound moist for faster and less painful healing. It is a material that facilitates skin transpiration due to its porosity, allowing air to circulate to promote recovery.
