The Farmalastic elastic bandage is a flexible cotton bandage used for compressive bandages and preventive or palliative treatment of sprains, strains and even in situations caused by poor venous return in the lower limbs.
The Farmalastic elastic bandage is a band with a high elastic capacity that is indicated for compressive bandages and for palliative treatments of venous processes, muscular, articular or ligament injuries. Its elastic capacity allows an adequate peripheral bandaging of the affected area. This bandage strip is not adhesive, so it needs an external fixation method, either adhesive tape or hooks to maintain its secure hold and its compression function. The advantage of this Farmalastic bandage is that it can be easily applied and adapted to the injury, and it has a very good presentation with an American hook.
It is made of a cotton blend that is soft and comfortable when in contact with the skin. It also has elastic bands that help to guarantee its fixation in the place where it is placed. It measures 5 x 5 cm and is a product financed by the national health system. To maintain its lifespan, it is advisable to wash it by hand using neutral soap and with water at a temperature below 30 °C. When drying, it is not advisable to expose the bandage to the sun, radiators or any other heat-emitting source. This product does not contain latex or silicone.
The Farmalastic bandage is indicated for compressive bandages for people suffering from sprains, strains or muscle injuries. It is also used in situations of varicose veins in people with venous insufficiency in the lower extremities.
Farmaciasdirect recommends positioning the bandage on the affected area and wrapping the injury completely with this band and then adjusting the appropriate level of compression with a hook or with a plaster. It is recommended that the bandage does not come into contact with creams or oils, as these products deteriorate the elastomer fibres, making them less elastic and weaker and thus minimising their compressive action.
Do not iron. Do not store at high temperatures and do not bring in contact with hot water. Do not use in case of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the materials of which it is composed. Keep out of reach of small children.
