Short-Stretch Compression Bandage

Description

HARTMANN Pütterbinde is a short-stretch, non-cohesive compression bandage engineered for counter-rotated/opposing bandaging techniques. Made from 100% cotton with textile elasticity, it offers approximately 90% extensibility to deliver high working pressure with light resting pressure, supporting sustained therapeutic compression.

Designed for extra high compression requirements, it is used after sclerotherapy (varicosclerosation) and in the management of acute and chronic venous obstructive oedema, venous leg ulcers, and thrombophlebitis. Its skin-coloured appearance and durable construction make it suitable for continued clinical use and repeated processing.
