Comprilan Wrap vs Ace Bandage

In general, Comprilan wraps (short stretch compression bandages) are a much better choice for lymphedema treatment than ACE bandages (medium and long stretch bandages). The Comprilan wraps are designed to actively apply pressure, which helps prevent fluids from building up and controls swelling. ACE bandages, which are elasticated bandages, are more commonly used to treat sports injuries. ACE bandages can stretch up to 300% of their original width, versus the Comprilan short stretch compression bandages, which will only stretch up to 50% of their width.

FAQs About Comprilan Short Stretch Bandages For Lymphedema

Comprilan short stretch compression bandages are durable, reusable bandages that are designed for compression therapy. With limited elasticity, the compression bandages provide consistent pressure, which makes them ideal for treating lymphedema and other medical conditions.

Below are frequently asked questions about Comprilan short stretch compression bandages for lymphedema.

• What Are Comprilan Short Stretch Compression Bandages

Durable and reusable, Comprilan short stretch bandages are compression bandages that are effective for treating lymphedema and other medical conditions.

• What Are The Top Features Of Comprilan Short Stretch Bandages

Comprilan short stretch bandages are a great choice for the treatment and management of lymphedema and other medical conditions, because the bandages are:

•  - durable
•  - breathable

•  - latex-free
•  - non-slip
•  - compatible with multi-layer bandaging system (including Comprifoam padded bandages)
• How Do Comprilan Short Stretch Compression Bandages Help With Lymphedema

By providing controlled compression, Comprilan short stretch compression bandages promote the movement of lymph fluid and help reduce swelling. The high working pressure of Comprilan bandages helps push stagnant lymph fluid out of areas affected by lymphedema, while the low resting pressure of the bandages helps prevent excessive constriction.

• What Is The Difference Between Working Pressure And Resting Pressure

In lymphedema treatment, working pressure and resting pressure are terms that are used to describe how compression bandages exert force under different conditions.

Working pressure refers to the pressure that is exerted when your muscles are active (e.g. during movement or exercise). Comprilan bandages deliver high working pressure, which helps stimulate lymphatic fluid while you are active.

Resting pressure refers to the pressure that is exerted when your muscles are at rest (e.g. while you are resting or sleeping). Comprilan bandages have low resting pressure, which makes them more comfortable to wear for extended periods of inactivity.

• What Conditions Are Comprilan Short Stretch Compression Bandages Used To Treat

Comprilan short stretch compression bandages are primarily used to treat and manage lymphedema, edema, venous leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), post-surgery edema, post-traumatic edema, phlebitis, varicose veins, and other medical conditions.

• What Are Comprilan Short Stretch Bandages Made Of

Made from 100% cotton, Comprilan short stretch bandages are breathable and latex-free.

• Can You Reuse Comprilan Short Stretch Compression Bandages

Comprilan short stretch compression bandages are designed to be reusable.

• How Do You Care For Comprilan Short Stretch Compression Bandages

For best results, machine wash the Comprilan short stretch compression bandages (in cold or warm water) and air dry them by laying them on a flat surface.

• What Is The Difference Between Short Stretch Compression Bandages And Medium Stretch and Long Stretch Bandages

Short stretch compression bandages differ from medium stretch and long stretch bandages in their elasticity, pressure, and uses.

Short stretch bandages have limited elasticity (they can stretch up to 60%-90% of their original length), and they provide high working pressure during movement and low resting pressure during rest. These bandages are typically used for moderate to acute lymphedema.

Medium stretch bandages have moderate elasticity (they can stretch up to 100%-140% of their original length), and they provide moderate working and resting pressure. These bandages are typically used for mild to moderate lymphedema and general swelling management.

Long stretch bandages have high elasticity (they can stretch up to 200% of their original length), and they provide low working pressure and high resting pressure. These bandages are typically used for mild lymphedema and acute injuries (such as strains and sprain).

• How Are Comprilan Short Stretch Compression Bandages Different Than Elastic Bandages

Comprilan short stretch compression bandages have limited elasticity (they can stretch up to 60-90% of their original length). This means that the bandages provide consistent, firm pressure, without overstretching. Elastic bandages, on the other hand, are long stretch bandages (they can stretch up to 200% of their original length), and they tend to produce more variable pressure, depending on how tightly they are wrapped.

Also, Comprilan short stretch compression bandages provide high working pressure (when you are active) and low resting pressure (when you are inactive). Elastic bandages provide moderate compression, but often maintain high resting pressure, which can cause discomfort, especially if you wear them for long periods of time.

Comprilan short stretch compression bandages are specifically designed for compression therapy, while elastic bandages are commonly used to support sprains or strains.

• Who Makes Comprilan Short Stretch Compression Bandages

Essity, a global health company based in Sweden, makes the Comprilan short stretch compression bandages. In 2017, they acquired BSN Medical, the company that originally produced Comprilan.
