Cohesive fixation bandage for immobilization and securing the dressing

The RATIOLINE acute cohesive fixation bandage, 8 cm x 4 m, blue, from Lohmann & Rauscher, is designed for the reliable immobilization of body parts and the secure fixation of dressings and cannulas. It is also suitable for applying compression bandages when targeted pressure needs to be exerted on the tissue. Due to its cohesive properties, the bandage is specifically designed to keep dressings stable.

Areas of application and benefits

The fixation bandage is used for immobilization, for example, in cases of injury where the affected body parts should be moved as little as possible. It can also be used to secure existing wound dressings to prevent them from slipping. The bandage is also intended for securing cannulas and can be used for compression when even pressure is desired.

Instructions for use

Apply the bandage according to the area of ​​the body requiring treatment and wrap it around the affected area in overlapping turns. Ensure that the bandage is snug enough to immobilize the area, but not constricting. When securing dressings and cannulas, the bandage is placed over the dressing or cannula to be secured and applied evenly and tightly. For compression, the bandage should be applied with a tension appropriate to the situation.

Important instructions

After applying the dressing, regularly check the blood flow to the treated area, especially with compression bandages. If you experience any signs of tingling, pressure pain, or skin discoloration, the dressing should be checked and reapplied if necessary. If you have any questions, please contact your doctor or pharmacist.
