BSN Medical Comprilan Compression Bandage, 3.9" x 16.4', Single roll

No longer needed. In perfect condition

(Review of 10 cm x 5 m size)This 100% cotton/made in Germany product was what was originally given to me by my physical therapist treating me for Lymphedema that developed following a knee replacement. Used as a wrap from foot to just below the knee, it stimulates circulation of the lymph system and helps with blood flow in the lower leg as you walk and move. It is only lightly stretchable (unlike an Ace bandage) and should not be put on too tightly.As the wrapping technique starts at the foot just below the toes, it needs to comfortably go around the ankle, so the size you use is VERY important. This 10 cm size is roughly 4-inches in width. While that's fine for my size 13 foot and large ankle, it probably won't suit most people very well. The 8 cm size (just shy of 3 1/4") is probably more suitable for the average person, while the even smaller 6 cm (about 2 1/3") would be fine for very small feet and most post-toddler children. If you use a size that is too wide, it will bunch up as it wraps around the ankle and will not be as effective. The wraps are hand or machine washable, but I do recommend air-drying.TIP FOR SECURING:The wrap comes with 2 clips to secure it at the top. Anyone who has ever used an Ace bandage is familiar with these clips that bend too easily, come loose to easily and always, always get lost somehow. I use the method my therapist recommended and it works to perfection: rather than use the supplied clips, secure the top (ending) edge with 2 or 3 strips of masking tape. It stays put for the entire day and you don't have to deal with looking for missing clips.WIDTH CONVERSIONS:10cm = 4 inches8cm = 3 1/8 inches6cm = 2 1/3 inchesNOTE:As with anything you use that might impinge your circulation, you should check first with a doctor or other professional before using this product

I need my legs wrapped a lot and I don't like a lot of stuff wrapped on me and these hold up well and keep tension well and are comfortable. I really like them. There's nothing else that is like these to wrap with.

Every bit as good as at the therapy center. And more convenient as I don't have to drive there.

Great leg wrap. I helped me successfully wrap my husband's legs which suffer from edema.. It made my job easier and his legs feel so much better after they are wrapped.

Works as intended.

I have lymphedema and this is part of my kit for when I have swelling problems. These bandages hold up pretty well (nothing stretchy will last forever). This is the best compression bandage I have found. I use it in 3 different sizes: 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm. [I am reviewing all three sizes, so apologies if you see this more than once.]Also good when an injury needs compression.Love that I can get these on Amazon; otherwise, they can only be found in medical supply stores. They aren't cheap no matter where you buy them.
