TGP Elastic Bandage, an elastic bandage is a flexible wrap that generates localized pressure. These bandages are frequently utilized to manage muscle sprains and strains by reducing blood flow to a specific area through consistent, stable pressure. This pressure effectively limits swelling at the injury site. Elastic bandages also serve as valuable tools for treating bone fractures.
Description:
Apart from sports medicine and orthopedics, elastic bandages are also popular for treating lymphedema and other venous conditions. However, it's essential to note that they should not be confused with specialized compression therapy devices designed explicitly for managing venous edema or lymphedema.
Instructions:
1. Apply Padding: Begin by placing padding on the fractured limb.
2. Apply a Splint: Next, secure a splint (typically made of plaster) over the affected area.
3. Wrap with an Elastic Bandage: Wrap an elastic bandage around the splint to hold it in place and provide protection.
3. Beneficial for Swelling: This technique is especially helpful for fractures that may cause swelling, as it ensures the cast remains effective
