Datt Velspan Strong Graduated Long Stretch Bandage - 12cm x 4.5m

The Datt Velspan Strong Graduated Long Stretch Bandage is a medical compression device designed for therapeutic applications requiring significant pressure. It is classified as a Type 3(c) bandage, indicating its suitability for high-compression needs. The bandage is constructed from a blend of cotton and Lycra, providing a soft texture that is intended to be comfortable against the skin.

Its long-stretch properties allow for adaptability during application, and the material is designed to be reusable after washing or sterilization. The bandage is brown in color and features sealed edges to prevent the formation of loose threads during use or handling. Each unit measures 12cm in width and extends to 4.

5 meters in length when fully stretched.

The mechanism of action for the Datt Velspan bandage relies on its graduated compression capabilities. When applied with the correct tension, it delivers a combination of low working pressure and high resting pressure. This is achieved through a unique visual indicator system.

Specific markings on the bandage, initially appearing as rectangles, transform into squares when the bandage is stretched to approximately 50% of its capacity. This visual cue assists healthcare professionals in achieving and maintaining a consistent and appropriate level of compression, typically in the range of 30-40mmHg, depending on the circumference of the limb and the application technique. The long-stretch nature of the material allows for a significant degree of extension, facilitating precise application and adaptation to varying limb shapes.

Key features of this bandage include its high-compression capability, attributed to its Type 3(c) classification. The soft texture and long-stretch design contribute to user comfort and ease of application. The integrated visual indicator markings are a critical benefit, enabling healthcare providers to accurately control and apply the specified pressure, which is crucial for therapeutic effectiveness.

The bandage is also designed for durability and hygiene, being washable and capable of sterilization via steam or ethylene oxide (ETO) if required, allowing for repeated use in clinical settings. The sealed edges further enhance its durability and safety during application.

This product is intended for use by medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists, as well as trained caregivers. Its primary applications are in the management of conditions requiring graduated compression therapy. This includes the treatment of venous insufficiency, where improved blood circulation in the legs is targeted.

It is also utilized in the management of leg ulcers, providing a supportive environment for healing. Furthermore, it is indicated for the reduction of gross edema, or swelling, in the limbs of individuals with average circumferences. The precise application of pressure is key to its therapeutic benefit in these scenarios.

When applying the Datt Velspan bandage, it is important to utilize the visual indicator markings to ensure correct tension. The bandage should be stretched until the rectangular markings appear as squares, signifying approximately 50% extension. This ensures that the intended graduated compression is achieved.

The bandage is suitable for limbs of average circumference, and careful application is necessary to avoid constricting circulation or causing discomfort. Following application, the bandage can be washed and, if necessary, sterilized for subsequent use, maintaining its therapeutic properties. Proper training in compression bandage application is recommended for optimal patient outcomes.

The Datt Velspan Strong Graduated Long Stretch Bandage is a Type 3(c) high-compression bandage with visual indicators for precise pressure application.
