Multilayered Bandaging Material

You may find bandaging kits on the market. They include:

• 2 rolls of stockinette – 7 cm and 10 cm diameter
• 3 rolls of 10 cm-wide short stretch compression bandage.
• 2 rolls of 8 cm-wide
• 2 rolls of 6 cm-wide
• 3 rolls of foam rubber bandage (2 m long, 8 cm-wide)
• 2 kidney-shaped foam rubber pad.
• 1 roll of tape (1 cm-wide)
• 1 roll of tape (3 cm-wide)

This stockinette is placed around the limb to absorb sweat and avoid the direct contact of the foam with the skin.
Stockinette must be applied without folds. Occasionally, a bandage type cellona may be applied below the foam bandage in order to protect body prominences or tendous.

These bandages are covering the stockinette. They are applied on a circular mode with 50 % overlaping. The foam must cover the limb and end more proximally than the edema.
The spongy aspect of the foam bandage allows the adhesion of the short stretch bandages on the limb during movement.

The short stretch bandage is applied on the foam on a circular mode with 50% overlaping or spica according to the localization. Smooth the bandage with your hand. Apply using an even tension. Several layers are placed around the limb in order to get a rigid bandaging generating low pressure.
