Hartmann Putter Compression Bandage – High-Intensity Short-Stretch Therapy

The Hartmann Putter Compression Bandage (also known as Pütterbinde) is an exceptionally strong, short-stretch bandage engineered for patients requiring intensive vascular compression. Unlike long-stretch wraps, this 100% cotton bandage offers a textile elasticity of approximately 90%. This specific elasticity profile delivers the “Pütter effect”—providing high working pressure during movement to accelerate blood flow, while maintaining a light resting pressure for safety and comfort during inactivity.

Clinically Proven for Venous & Lymphatic Conditions

Designed for the most demanding medical applications, the Hartmann Putter Compression Bandage is the ideal solution for managing acute and chronic venous obstructive oedema, leg ulcers, and thrombophlebitis. It is frequently utilized in post-varicosclerosation (sclerotherapy) care to ensure the vein walls remain compressed for successful closure. Because it is made from pure natural fibers, it is highly breathable and skin-friendly, even during extended treatment periods.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Working Pressure: Maximizes the calf muscle pump action to significantly improve venous return and reduce swelling.

• 100% Pure Cotton: Soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic construction that ensures maximum patient comfort and skin integrity.

• Boil-Washable & Hygienic: Can be laundered at temperatures up to 95°C and is suitable for autoclaving (at 134°C), making it ideal for repeated clinical use.

• Sustained Compression: The durable finished edges and high-quality weave prevent the bandage from losing its therapeutic strength over time.

• Instructional Design: Features convenient wash instructions imprinted directly on the rear end of the bandage for easy maintenance.

• Economical Range: Available in various widths to allow for precise, cost-effective application across different anatomical areas.

Common Applications

• Venous Leg Ulcer Treatment: Provides the firm counter-pressure needed for wound healing.

• Thrombophlebitis Management: Reduces inflammation and stabilizes blood flow in affected veins.

• Sclerotherapy Recovery: Essential for maintaining high pressure on treated veins post-procedure.

• Chronic Oedema: Effectively manages fluid buildup in the lower extremities.

The Professional Choice for Vascular Specialists

When high-pressure stabilization is critical to recovery, the Hartmann Putter Compression Bandage delivers unrivaled performance. Its combination of 100% cotton comfort and rigorous short-stretch mechanics makes it a staple in specialized vascular clinics and hospitals. Trust Hartmann’s heritage of German engineering to provide the sustained compression and durability required for effective long-term therapy.

Clinical Tip: For optimal results, the Hartmann Putter Compression Bandage is best applied using the opposing-wrap technique (Pütter technique), where two bandages are applied in opposite directions to create a rigid sleeve that provides maximal counter-pressure during muscle contraction.
