Short stretch bandages are an ideal choice for treating and managing Lymphedema and other chronic swellings. Unlike "ACE" bandages, the short-stretch bandage provides both compression and resistance to stretch. The woven "textile-elastic" structure of provides a high working and low resting pressure, thereby helping to move lymphatic fluid out of an affected limb. When used as part of a multi-layered compression bandage the textured structure of the bandage’s fabric helps each layer firmly adhere to one another, making it less likely they will slip.
