Why do I need a long-stretch bandage and a short-stretch bandage?
Long-stretch bandage:
The ELASTOFLEX Long Stretch Bandage has been developed to support and relieve the musculoskeletal system by providing effective support during sports and leisure activities. It also enables the secure fixation of dressings to ensure their integrity and promote rapid recovery. Furthermore, it serves to immobilize body parts, which is particularly important after injuries or surgeries to support optimal healing. Additionally, it contributes to the reduction of hematomas by exerting even pressure and minimizing the formation of bruises. Last but not least, it allows for effective compression in lymphological finger or toe dressings to improve circulation and reduce swelling.
Short-stretch bandage:
The SYLASTEX Short Stretch Bandage is highly versatile and meets various medical requirements:
It provides strong compression, which is particularly important in phlebology to improve blood flow and reduce swelling. At the same time, it can immobilize injured or operated body parts, promoting rapid recovery. In traumatology and sports medicine, it supports and relieves the body, aiding in rehabilitation and preventing further injuries. Additionally, it securely fixes dressings, improving treatment effectiveness and preventing complications.

These professionals can provide you with well-founded medical information and recommendations based on your individual situation. It is important that you seek professional advice for any health-related questions or concerns to receive the best possible care and guidance.
