An innovative compression bandage that delivers a precise pressure
“I feel so good! No itching, no heaviness, no swelling with a tightness feeling. The skin on the leg is soft and smooth - not flaky and dry anymore! When I compare traditional compression products with Lundatex® medical bandage, the difference is like 'night and day.'"
- Patient self-treating a small leg ulcer, Sweden
The Lundatex® medical bandage material is highly elastic, and is provided with longitudinal markings for correct overlap and transverse markings for correct amount of material for each turn around the leg. The markings function as a guide for how the bandage should be applied. If the markings are followed, the bandage provides a precise pressure, with a standard deviation of 2 mmHg from the target pressure.
Indications:
The Lundatex® medical bandage provides compression that can be used for the following conditions or circumstances:
- Venous insufficiency - Venous leg ulcers
- Oedema - Mixed leg ulcers
- Lymphoedema - Varicose veins
- Deep vein thrombosis - Direct trauma to the limb, such as from
- Post-thrombotic syndrome sport-related injuries
​
Compression level – 20 mmHg
The bandage provides a lighter compression and can be used as support, for example, after treatment of muscle injuries to increase the venous circulation at minor varices (varicose veins), or postoperatively.
Material
The bandage is made of breathable and skin-friendly materials, and is free from natural latex rubber.
“This study shows, for the first time, how an elastic compression material can exert a consistent pressure independently of the leg "shape and the ability of healthcare providers."
