Compression Bandages - Multi-Layer Systems, Tubular, Elastic

Compression bandages for venous leg ulcers, lymphedema management, post-procedural compression and graduated compression therapy - multi-layer compression systems (3M Coban 2, Smith & Nephew Profore and Profore Lite, Medline 2-Layer), tubular bandages (Molnlycke Tubigrip, Medline Medigrip), elastic and self-adherent compression bandages (3M Coban Self-Adherent Wrap). Available in standard widths from 3-inch through 6-inch and multiple compression class levels. Wholesale case pricing for hospitals, wound care centers and long-term care.

Compression Bandages for Clinical Wound Care

The compression bandages subcategory covers the full range of compression therapy products used across clinical wound care, lymphedema management and post-procedural applications. The three subsubcategory groups - multi-layer compression systems, tubular bandages, and elastic and self-adherent bandages - address different compression therapy applications. Multi-layer compression systems (Coban 2, Profore) are the standard of care for venous leg ulcer management, providing graduated compression at therapeutic pressures over multi-day wear intervals. Tubular bandages (Tubigrip, Medigrip) provide light-to-moderate compression for limb support, dressing retention and lymphedema management. Self-adherent compression bandages (Coban) provide flexible compression that adheres to itself without separate clips or tape, used in post-procedural compression and general clinical applications.

Compression Bandage Classes at a Glance

Multi-Layer Compression Systems

Multi-layer compression systems (Coban 2 from 3M, Profore from Smith & Nephew, Medline 2-Layer) are the clinical standard for venous leg ulcer management. The systems deliver therapeutic compression at the 30-40 mmHg range at the ankle with graduated reduction toward the knee, supporting venous return in patients with venous insufficiency. Multi-layer systems typically provide 5-7 day wear intervals, dramatically reducing the dressing change frequency compared to single-layer compression bandages. Coban 2 is a two-layer system; Profore is a four-layer system; Medline 2-Layer is a two-layer alternative. The choice between systems is a clinical and formulary decision based on facility preference and patient population.

Tubular Bandages

Tubular bandages (Molnlycke Tubigrip in sizes 1437, 1443, 1450; Medline Medigrip and Comprigrip in matched sizes) provide light-to-moderate compression in a seamless tubular format that slides over the limb. Tubular bandages are used for limb support after injury, dressing retention over wound care dressings, mild lymphedema management, post-cast support and general clinical applications. The seamless tubular format provides consistent circumferential compression without the variable application technique issues of wrapped bandages.

Self-Adherent and Elastic Compression

Self-adherent compression bandages (3M Coban Self-Adherent Wrap and similar products) provide flexible compression that adheres to itself through cohesive material technology - no clips, hooks or tape needed for fixation. The applied tension determines the compression level, making self-adherent bandages adjustable per application. Common applications include post-procedural compression at vascular access sites, light compression for IV site coverage, general limb compression and dressing fixation under compression. Elastic bandages provide the simpler crepe-style format for general support and secondary dressing fixation.

Compression bandages are a clinically essential subcategory for any facility managing venous leg ulcers, lymphedema, post-procedural compression or routine clinical compression applications. The Coban 2, Profore and Medline 2-Layer multi-layer systems together cover venous leg ulcer management standards. The Tubigrip line covers tubular bandage applications, and the Coban self-adherent wrap covers general clinical compression needs. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
