2 How TSSB works Tubigrip Shaped Support Bandage provides lasting, effective support, while allowing complete freedom of movement. Its radial stretch provides full support without slipping down. TSSB can be washed for repeated use. Only a single measurement around the calf or forearm is required for precise size selection. The range of five full-leg and three below-knee bandages ensures a good fit. Indications for use Tubigrip Shaped Support Bandage (TSSB) is a support bandage used to aid venous and lymphatic return in the management of venous disorders of the legs and arms. TSSB may also be used as an undercast stockinette in cast bracing, for support following cast removal, and to provide pressure therapy in the treatment of post-burn scarring. Benefits of TSSB Anatomically shaped to provide support along the complete length of the limb Elasticated cotton fabric construction is comfortable as well as effective Simple size selection is quick and convenient Washable and reusable Reapplication after washing is quick and easy for patients. Directions for use ARM For full arm applications, a shaped support bandage is ideal. A small cut is made 4-5cm from the bottom to accommodate the thumb. LEG For full leg applications, a long shaped support bandage can be used. This gives a graduated pressure, ensuring an adequate venous return. BELOW KNEE For ease of application, shaped Tubigrip can be quickly and easily pulled into place. CUTTING If the shaped Tubigrip is too long, fold in half and cut equal amounts from top and bottom. APPLYING Pull the lower part of the bandage into the upper part and apply as a stocking, lower part first and then pulling up the upper part.
