We all are aware that wound
healing is more complicated than just wound assessment and treatment. To select the most appropriate bandaging system, one must understand the concepts of extensibility, recoil, and working and resting pressures. To date, little research has been done to investigate the best combinations of bandages or different bandage application techniques. We totally rely on clinical experience and tradition.
So, we thought to share some details to help you
understand bandaging principles and to effectively treat and heal wounds.
- Extensibility: is stretchability, the maximum amount a bandage can stretch. So for example, if a 3-meter bandage has 100% extensibility it would stretch up to a maximum length of 6 meters.
- Recoil: is to regain. Once you stretch a bandage and release the stretch, it should come back to its original length. You can tell the quality of the bandage by its recoil, all good quality bandages will go back to their original length.
- Working pressure: The bandage pressure on the limb when the limb is in an active state; for example standing, walking, etc.
- Resting pressure: The bandage pressure on the limb when it is in an inactive/ resting state; for example lying down or sitting down.
Some of the benefits bandages provide:
- Reduce swelling by applying Intense therapy sessions.
- Long-term use when certain individuals cannot wear compression garments.
- Helps to control swelling symptoms in patients with complex medical issues.
The compression bandages are mainly of two distinct types – the long stretch and the short stretch ones.
Long-stretch also known as Elastic bandages
Long stretch bandages contain elastic yarn which allows them to stretch more than 100% of the initial original length. They can be applied smoothly and will conform according to the contour of the body.
Short-stretch also known as Low-elasticity bandages
The short stretch bandages, however, are composed of cotton fibers. These fibers are interwoven so that the original length can be extended by almost 60% at the time of usage. The main advantage of the short stretch bandages is that they provide high working pressure that is necessary for lymphatic drainage as well as venous flow.
