Lohmann & Rauscher Compression Bandages

For clinicians managing lymphedema, venous insufficiency, and chronic edema, Lohmann & Rauscher is a name that signals reliable short-stretch compression. This collection centers on the tools that make multilayer bandaging work: short-stretch bandages that deliver a high working pressure during muscle activity and a low resting pressure at rest — exactly the profile needed for decongestive therapy.

The heart of the range is Rosidal K, a cotton short-stretch bandage available across a full span of widths and lengths — from the 1.6-inch roll for fingers, toes, and smaller limbs to the 4.7-inch by 11-yard roll for larger legs. Because Rosidal K stretches only about 90%, it holds its shape through movement and stays put through a wear cycle, which is why it's a mainstay in Phase 1 lymphedema management. It's breathable, latex-free, and comes in a discreet tan.

Choosing the right width matters more than most first-time buyers expect: too narrow and you'll spend forever wrapping a thigh; too wide and you can't contour an ankle or foot cleanly. Many therapists stock two or three widths per patient so a single limb can be bandaged in one continuous, well-fitted system.
