Fast’n Go Hybrid Bandaging patented hybrid technology gives us the possibility to combine, in a single-layer short-stretch bandage, the benefits of inelastic bandages (maximum efficiency) with the benefits of long stretch bandages (maximum safety) for an extremely simple application.
The main inconvenients of such systems is that the levels of compression reached will depend on:
Thanks to its’ unique and patented structure, the stretchability of Fast’n Go hybrid bandage is mechanically limited. This means the patients, carers, or non-trained staff cannot apply dangerously high pressures by over stretching Thonic bandage.
A regular reevaluation of the ratio benefit/risk is necessary in case of :
Patients whose compression therapy is applied by carers or non-trained healthcare staff
If the size of the patient’s big toe allows it, the anchor point can also be used for the lower limb. In order to optimize the compression in the retro-malleolar area, Fast’n Go hybrid bandage can be applied directly from the toe to the back of the ankle before going under the foot with a figure of 8 bandaging around the foot followed by a spiral bandaging along the leg.
27 segments = 3.5 m length
31 segments = 4.0 m length
35 segments = 4.5 m length
39 segments = 5.0 m length
The main problem with compression dosage with bandages is that the applied pressure can greatly differ between 2 applications by the same person (intra-personal reproducibility issues) or when applied by 2 different people (inter-personal reproducibility issues) as the sub-bandage pressure depends directly on the application tension and the overlap, 2 highly operator-dependant factors (see ReproComp study). The compression level of a bandage will therefore have to be an average.
Moreover, it is important to clearly make the distinction between the “resting pressure” (measured when the patient is lying or sitting with the leg horizontal) and the “working pressure” (measured when the patient is standing). In order to know the efficiency of a bandage, you need to measure its’ Static Stiffness Index (SSI) which is the average difference between the working pressures and resting pressures measured. It is commonly accepted that a bandage will be stiff with an SSI > 10 mmHg.
