FAQs About Mobiderm Foam Bandages

Mobiderm foam bandages are one of the most versatile, innovative lymphedema products on the market today!

Below are frequently asked questions about Mobiderm foam bandages.

What Are Mobiderm Foam Bandages

Made by Thuasne, Mobiderm foam bandages are based on a patented design that places foam cubes in a grid pattern, between two layers of non-woven material.

How Do Mobiderm Foam Bandages Work

Thanks to the unique foam cube technology that is embedded within a soft material, localized pressure differentials are applied to the skin, which helps stimulate lymphatic flow and enhance fluid drainage. When compressed (by a compression bandage or garment), the raised foam cubes create alternating areas of high and low pressure against the skin. This helps soften fibrotic (hardened) tissue and makes it easier for lymphatic fluid to be transported away from the affected area and absorbed.

What Conditions Do Mobiderm Foam Bandages Help Treat

Mobiderm foam bandages are used to treat a wide range of medical conditions related to swelling and impaired lymphatic drainage, including:

•  - lymphedema
•  - edema
•  - post-surgical swelling
•  - post-traumatic swelling (from fluid buildup following injuries such as fractures or sprains)
•  - venous insufficiency
•  - lipedema
•  - fibrosis (hardening of the tissue)

What Is The Difference Between Small Blocks And Large Blocks In Mobiderm Bandages

With Mobiderm foam bandages, the “blocks” refer to the size of the foam cubes that are embedded within the fabric.

Small Block Mobiderm Foam Bandages: The small block foam bandages provide gentler, more localized pressure, which is good for sensitive areas and mild lymphedema. Often used on smaller body parts (such as fingers, hands, and feet), the small block foam bandages are more comfortable for long-term wear, including nighttime use.

Large Block Mobiderm Foam Bandages: The large block foam bandages create stronger pressure variations, which makes them more effective for fibrotic tissue and severe lymphedema. These foam bandages are often used for intensive decongestion therapy in the early stages of treatment, and they work well on larger body areas (such as arms, lower legs, and thighs).

Can You Use Mobiderm Foam Bandages On Any Part Of The Body

Mobiderm foam bandages can be used on just about any part of the body that is affected by lymphedema or swelling, including: fingers, toes, hands, feet, legs, arms, and torso.

Can You Wear Mobiderm Foam Bandages At Night

Check with your healthcare provider, but Mobiderm foam bandages are often worn during sleep, in order to provide continuous lymphedema management.

Do Mobiderm Foam Bandages Require Compression Bandages Or Wraps

Mobiderm foam bandages can be used alone or under compression bandages or wraps.

Are Mobiderm Foam Bandages Reusable

Mobiderm foam bandages are reusable, and they can be hand washed (with a mild soap) and air dried.

What Is The Difference Between Mobiderm Foam Bandages And Mobiderm Foam Pads

Both the Mobiderm foam bandages and Mobiderm foam pads have the same proprietary foam cube design and are available in a small block and large block design. The foam bandages come on a roll and are typically applied under compression wraps. The foam pads can be placed inside compression garments or bandages, to focus pressure on specific areas for localized treatment.

Who Makes Mobiderm Foam Bandages

Mobiderm foam bandages are made by Thuasne, a French medical company that was founded in 1847. Many of their top products are available in the U.S., through Thuasne USA.
