Suitable for bandaging irregular extremities and body surfaces, including the head, joints and stumps Overview : Stretch bandages are made from cotton fibers which are interwoven in a way that allows only for approximately 60% extensibility of their original length. When used as part of a multi-layer compression bandage, the "short stretch" capacity of these bandages creates an external force against outward muscle contraction, (known as working pressure). Conversely, while the muscles are at rest, the pressure of the short stretch bandages is low, thereby eliminating constriction or a "tourniquet effect," which would otherwise hinder the normal flow of body fluids. By using more compression layers further down a limb, and fewer layers higher up, graded pressure is created, helping to move lymphatic fluid upward and out of an affected area.
