Actico Short Stretch Bandage 12cm x 6M - Single

The Actico Short Stretch Bandage in 12cm width provides broader coverage than the standard 10cm roll, making it well suited for larger lower limbs and patients requiring wider compression layers. Like all Actico bandages from L&R Medical, it uses cohesive, non-elastic construction applied at full stretch in a straightforward spiral technique. The result is high working pressure during activity paired with low resting pressure for comfort, producing a massaging effect that supports venous valve function and promotes lymphatic drainage. The Safe-Loc application system built into each roll ensures consistent pressure delivery across clinical teams. Supplied as a single 12cm x 6m roll.

Key Features

• 12cm Width: Wider than the standard 10cm roll, providing greater coverage per wrap for larger limbs and bulkier dressing layers
• High Working Pressure: Generates therapeutic compression during movement, actively driving venous return and reducing oedema
• Low Resting Pressure: Comfortable when the patient is at rest, improving tolerance and adherence to compression therapy
• Safe-Loc Application System: Integrated guides ensure precise, repeatable bandaging pressure, simplifying staff training
• Cohesive Construction: Layers grip each other without adhesive, staying secure without sticking to skin or hair
• 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 12cm is used across NHS tissue viability clinics, district nursing teams and community leg ulcer services for managing venous leg ulcers, chronic oedema and lymphoedema in patients with larger lower limbs. It is suitable for both mobile and immobile patients and typically allows patients to continue wearing their regular footwear throughout the treatment period.
