Pain, sprains, swelling and minor injuries are common for everyone, especially those that work out on a regular basis. Rosidal K Short Stretch Bandages from L&R ensure that these types of occurrences don't keep you sidelined. These bandages are ideal for providing strong compression in the management of acute and chronic lymphedema, edema, and venous insufficiency. They do a great job of compressing a new injury or inflammation flare-up to help keep the swelling down. Study after study validates the effectiveness of stretchable compression bandages. Used properly, they create localized pressure to treat muscle sprains and strains by reducing the flow of blood to a particular area. This occurs thanks to the application of even, consistent pressure which restricts swelling at the place of injury. The Rosidal K bandages provide a high working pressure and a low resting pressure. Soft and comfortable, they can be worn while resting and recuperating as well as while actively exercising. They are ideal for support and stress relief in traumatology and sports medicine. Because they are 100% cotton, they are well tolerated by patients, very suitable as long-term bandages, washable and reusable, making them ideal for home and multi-user environments. This is one Rosidal K Short Stretch Elastic Bandage that is sized 1.6" x 5.5 yds. Not only suitable to be worn while resting and while exercising, the bandages can be worn in bed to continue to provide relief overnight. The unique textile structure of the bandage helps keep it in place and prevents the bandage layers from slipping. Lengthwise extensibility of the bandages can reach approximately 90%. Both the bandages and the clips are Latex-free. The bandages can be washed in temperatures up to 95 degrees and can be sterilized by steam at 121 degrees.
