Actico Short Stretch Bandage 10cm x 6M - Single

The Actico Short Stretch Bandage from L&R Medical is a cohesive, non-elastic compression bandage engineered for precise lower-limb compression therapy. Applied at full stretch in a simple spiral technique, it delivers high working pressures during movement while maintaining lower resting pressures for patient comfort. This massaging action simulates healthy venous valve function, helping to relieve venous hypertension and promote lymphatic drainage. The integrated Safe-Loc system ensures consistent, repeatable application across clinical teams. Supplied as a single 10cm x 6m roll.

Key Features

• High Working Pressure: Generates therapeutic compression during patient movement, actively driving venous return and reducing oedema
• Low Resting Pressure: Comfortable at rest, improving patient tolerance and compliance with compression therapy regimens
• Safe-Loc Application System: Built-in guides ensure precise, consistent bandaging pressure, simplifying training for clinical staff
• Cohesive Construction: Bandage layers grip each other without adhesive, staying in place without sticking to skin or hair
• 10cm x 6m Roll: Standard width for lower-leg application with generous length for multi-layer wrapping techniques
• Wide ABPI Range: Suitable for patients with ABPI 0.8 to 1.3, and for mixed-aetiology ulcers (ABPI 0.5 to 0.8) under specialist supervision

Applications

Actico is used across NHS tissue viability clinics, district nursing teams and community leg ulcer services for managing venous leg ulcers, chronic oedema and lymphoedema. It is suitable for both mobile and immobile patients and typically allows patients to wear their regular footwear during treatment, supporting continued mobility and quality of life throughout the healing process.
