DISCONTINUED BY ROCKTAPE
Edema strips are used to relieve swelling and bruising. Often called fan cuts, the distinctive "fingers" are spread out along the lymphatic channels to encourage drainage of fluid and blood that accumulates in an area after injury or surgery.
RockTape Precut Edema Strips are 10" long by 4" wide and have a 2" base with 5 individual fingers. Each box contains 20 individual edema applications that can be worn for 5-7 days. Pre-cut edema strips are machine cut with rounded corners, reducing the fraying and curling that can occur when tape is cut by hand. Application is quick and simple. Start by folding and tearing the backing along the cut lines and where the anchor end meets the fingers. Remove the backing from the anchor end and apply according to package directions. Apply the fingers, one at a time, over the swollen or bruised area.
Edema strips are applied with the solid end of the tape over the lymphatic ducts and the fingers positioned along the lymphatic pathways.The enhanced lymphatic drainage promotes a reduction in swelling along with relief from the associated pain. Over a few days, the bruised area will become clear where the individual strips of tape were applied, rapidly accelerating the recovery from the contusion.
Rock Tape Edema Strips can be an effective part of lymphedema treatment, helping to reduce the severe swelling associated with this condition. Edema strips are among the most effective but least expensive lymphedema products available today.
