Bandages have always been used for the therapeutic compression, support and relief of injuries. There is a particular requirement for compression bandages for the treatment of venous leg complaints and so-called "functional bandages" for postural and movement injuries and disorders, for example sprains or arthrosis.
Good bandaging techniques and correctly indicated materials are therefore vital to successful bandage treatment. Accordingly HARTMANN’s bandage range offers a wide choice of compression and support bandages in various materials (cotton and/or synthetic fibres) with varying elasticity (short stretch and long stretch) as well as special fabric finishes that make bandages self-adhesive or "cohesive" so that dressings do not slip.
