Content

Description

  • White colour.
  • Dimensions: 5 m × 5 cm, 5 m × 6 cm, 5 m × 7 cm, 5 m × 10 cm, 7 m × 5 cm, 7 m × 7 cm, 7 m × 10 cm, 7 m × 14 cm, 10 m × 16 cm.

Composition

The composition may vary depending on the type of medical bandage:

  • Cotton
  • Latex

Structure

The structure of the medical bandage consists in a complex interweaving of cotton threads, of the kind - plain weaving of threads. The bandage fabric consists of two interwoven thread systems arranged mutually perpendicularly. The system of threads along the fabric is called the warp, and the system of threads across the fabric is called the weft . The corresponding threads are called warp and weft. The interweaving of threads in the bandage fabric is one of the main indicators. The warp and weft threads are sequentially intertwined with each other in a certain order, depending on the minimum number of threads - rapport , affecting the density and type of medical device - bandage.

Blending Technique

 

The technique of applying a compression bandage for vein disease according to Sigg (according to Fischer-Schneider).

The compression dressing is applied in a lying position with a raised leg. With the correct application, the fingertips at rest slightly turn blue, and at the beginning of the movement restore their normal color. After applying the bandage, walking for 20-30 minutes is recommended. In the event of a pain syndrome, it is necessary to correct the dressing.

  • Bandages of low extensibility are used for chronic venous insufficiency and thrombophlebitis of superficial veins to achieve a therapeutic effect that provides high working pressure at low resting pressure.
  • Bandages of medium stretch provide easy pressure and are most often used for therapeutic and preventive purposes, in the surgical and postoperative periods, as well as in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and thrombophlebitis of superficial veins.
  • High tensile bandages can create high pressure. They are used to prevent bleeding and hematomas in the immediate postoperative period on the venous system, as well as in patients who observe bed rest.

Bandages of high extensibility should be used in the near postoperative period with the goal of hemostasis and reliable fixation of the bandage. To ensure an optimal therapeutic compression regimen, materials that provide a high working pressure at a low resting pressure, that is, low and medium tensile bandages, are most suitable.

Promising materials

Russian specialists created a new dressing material. The bandage consists of a fibrous matrix to which agglomerates of aluminum oxide hydroxide nanofibres are attached. Nanofibers have excellent sorbing abilities, as well as a positive electric charge, so microorganisms that can get into the wound are attracted to the fibers of the dressing, to which silver is added to enhance the antiseptic effect in the microscopic lobe. As a result, 99.99% of the microorganisms located on the surface of the wound are retained in the bandage [1] .
