What are inelastic compression wraps?
Compression wraps are made of soft, inelastic material that has very low stretch. These garments are applied by pulling on the bands and enclosed with a hook & loop or Velcro® fastener. The more force applied during application, the greater the compression level.
The benefits to using a compression wrap to other compression products such as bandages or compression stockings are:
- Easy of application
- Instant compression adjustability
- Higher containment for larger limbs or edema control
- Can be worn both day and night
