Medical application of crepe bandage

Crepe bandage is widely used in the medical field, with different functions and different requirements for crepe bandage. The purpose of the clinical application of crepe bandages is to prevent and treat blood oozing and exudate in some parts of the body, resist muscle tension, maintain the stability of the bone structure, rehabilitation therapy, supplement the lack of soft tissue tension, and enhance or resist soft tissue tension. As a medical bandage, it is required to have effective elasticity, good air permeability, and certain hygroscopicity, and to have continuous and uniform radial pressure during use. The clinical application generally includes the following aspects.

Here is the content list:

l Hemostatic effect

l Cushioning

l Maintain balance

l Massage effect

l Physiotherapy

Hemostatic effect

A medical crepe bandage is used to stop bleeding and prevent bleeding and exudation with elastic caps, elastic sleeves, tourniquets, expelling belts, etc. The use of a crepe bandage after radical mastectomy can achieve compression and hemostasis, reduce blood exudation, and at the same time, it will not cause the patient breathing difficulties due to excessive pressure. Bandage dressing at the puncture site of the femoral artery has an ideal effect on reducing complications such as bleeding and hematoma at the puncture site of the femoral artery after surgery. The crepe bandage method improves the comfort of wearing the bandage.

Cushioning

In clinical applications of crepe bandages, various soft pads and hard pads are sometimes lined under the bandage to secure the local fixation, prevent the protrusion of soft tissue, and promote the relief or cure of the corresponding disease. This padded crepe bandage includes an elastic hernia bag, elastic anal drag, and so on.

Maintain balance

In the treatment, to resist the tension of the muscles and maintain the stability of the bone structure, it is necessary to use the crepe bandage to fix the pressure. For general limb and joint trauma, the application of a crepe bandage can not only achieve the ideal immobilization effect, but also will not affect the blood circulation and cause limb ulcers, and prevent the bandage from falling off. A bandage has good flexibility and can be used to fix the tracheal cannula to reduce the patient's neck tension. It is more practical for patients who are prone to sweating, sputum, or exudates at the incision, especially for obese patients. "Use 3M Self-Adhesive Bandage Fixing Pediatric Scalp Vein Indwelling Needle can fix the needle well in the blood vessel and prevent the leakage of fluid caused by the thin veins of children. The self-adhesive bandage has good air permeability, can fully dissipate heat and reduce sweat Bad stimulation to the needle eye wound; at the same time, the fixation is good, even if it encounters water and sweat, it will not fall off or become loose, and the pressure is constant and lasting.

Massage effect

The hernia bag, anal support, etc. are cushioned with a crepe bandage, and the natural retraction of the elastic bandage enables the patient to massage the affected area when walking, promoting local blood circulation. good therapeutic effect.

Physiotherapy

Crepe bandages can be used to treat lower extremity varicose veins, lower extremity venous thrombosis, lower extremity edema caused by thrombophlebitis, lower lymphedema, and wound granulation tissue edema in the treatment of burn wounds. Crepe bandage uses a pressure-relieving effect to generate pressure on the veins from top to bottom in the legs, forming a venous pump, helping venous blood return to the heart, reducing the incidence of varicose veins, and improving symptoms to a certain extent. Crepe bandage provides continuous progressive external compression and is a key element in the prevention and treatment of lower extremity ulcers due to injury and venous insufficiency of the lower extremity. In the treatment of deep burn wounds, the application of MEBO plus crepe bandage pressure therapy can shrink the blood vessels in the overgrown granulation and edema granulation, reduce the number of blood vessels, and accelerate the regression of the edema granulation.
