Elastic Bandage Application
One of the compression applications is elastic bandage application.
Edema occurs in the stump after amputation surgery. This edema is a normal reaction to the operation. With compression applications, edema should be reduced and the stump should be shaped properly. This is critical for the success of the subsequent prosthesis application. One of the compression applications is elastic bandage application.
If the elastic bandage is not made according to the technique, there is a risk of increasing edema. Moreover, permanent deformities of the stump may occur due to incorrect applications and adversely affect the use of the prosthesis.
Videomuzda (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjFo0BO4O00) We explained the important points by showing the sample application for below-knee amputation. But let's also remind this; The first applications after the surgery must be done by the specialist and then the application should be shown to you by the specialist doctor / physiotherapist / nurse. As we mentioned, applications that are not done correctly can be harmful to you.
