How should you use the Thuasne Biflex 16 + light elastic compression bandage?
- Apply the bandage before getting out of bed, with the foot flexed at a 90° angle.
- Position the bandage flat at the base of the toes. Hold the unrolled end with your left hand. The calibration mark must be visible (not pressed against the skin).
- Be sure to follow the alignment guidelines (the rectangle should form a square) throughout the application of the bandage.
- Wrap the band once under the foot, then a second time closer to the ankle. Cover the heel.
- Pass the tape under the foot, then around the ankle, over the back of the heel, and back over the top of the foot.
- Wrap around the ankle again.
- Work your way up the calf, staggering the wraps evenly.
- Overlap for a strength 1 half-square (no need to align the squares), meaning that each new wrap overlaps the previous one at the midpoint of the rectangle.
- Overlapping for strength level 2 in a full square (the coil wraps over the previous one at the bottom edge of the rectangle).
- Finish 5 cm below the buttock crease or 2 cm below the knee.
- Remove the band in the evening.
Care:
- Machine wash at 30°C on the delicate cycle with a detergent for delicate fabrics
