Fitting & user guide
COMPRESSION CONTROL
Compression is determined by following fitting indicator graduations during application of bandage:
- Stretch the bandage to 30% (rectangle marking becomes a square).
- Apply the bandage according to overlapping guide lines:
Biflex 16+
- Force 1 line = 50% overlap (10-15mmHg compression)
- Force 2 line = 75% overlap (15-20 mmHg compression)
USAGE for Biflex Practic
- Place the end of the bandage flat against the base of the toes.
- Wind round once, passing the bandage under the foot.
- Wind round a second time, up towards the ankle. Cover the heel.
- Pass the bandage under the foot and return to the ankle.
- Return to the top of the foot and pass the bandage round the ankle.
- Wind the bandage up round the calf, evenly spacing the spirals according to the instructions.
The integrated loop at one end and the transfer indicating the winding direction make Biflex® + Pratic easier to fit
NB : when you remove the bandage, roll up starting at the end opposite the loop.
