Bandages for children: caring for the health of the little ones
From early childhood to adulthood, the most important thing for a person is health. It is therefore not surprising that from the very birth of a child, parents begin to care about the condition and comfort of the baby.
When it comes to the health and safety of a child, every detail is important. Especially during periods when a child needs support after an injury, surgery or during rehabilitation. That is why children's bandages are created taking into account the anatomical features of a small body to provide soft but effective fixation without causing discomfort.
Our online medical equipment store MED1 presents to your attention a wide range of bandages for children: from supporting models for the hand to orthoses for the ankle joint. All so that the baby can recover faster and return to an active lifestyle.
What are children's bandages?
Bandages for children are necessary at different periods of life and for different conditions of the child. If we talk about newborns, then bandages are necessary for the correct formation of the hip joints. In such cases, a bandage for an infant, such as Pavlik's stirrups or Freik's pillow, will come to the rescue. These bandages, with early diagnosis of dysplasia in a short time of use, very often help to completely get rid of the problem and preserve the baby's health.
As the child's age changes, his mobility also changes, which can lead to injuries when running, playing on playgrounds. For such cases, manufacturers allocate a separate line of products. A bandage for a small child should differ anatomically, take into account the small size of the user and the quality of materials. Such a bandage should securely fix the small patient, whether it is a knee brace or a children's arm bandage.
You also need to understand when you need to buy an orthosis, and when you need a regular fixing and supporting bandage.
Depending on the type of injury or need, there are several types of children's bandages:
- Children's supporting arm bandage - most often used after fractures or sprains. It helps to fix the arm in the optimal position for healing. Suitable for daily wear, does not constrain movement and reduces the load on the shoulder.
- Children's handkerchief bandage - a soft and comfortable option for fixing the upper limb. Thanks to its lightweight design, it does not put pressure on the neck, which is especially important for young children.
- Orthoses and braces for joints - in particular ankle bandage, shoulder, etc. They are indispensable for dislocations, sprains, muscle pain or in the postoperative period.
Problems with posture appear a little later and also sometimes require early correction. Incorrect position at school at the desk, a heavy briefcase, a sedentary lifestyle lead to the need to use corsets to correct posture. Such corsets look like a tight vest that reliably fixes and supports the correct position of the spine. If you pay attention to your child's back in time and use the right corset, you can avoid problems such as scoliosis, kyphosis, etc.
What is special about children's models of bandages?
Bandages for the smallest are made of soft, hypoallergenic materials that do not irritate the skin. The child can wear such a product for a long time without discomfort. In addition, an important advantage is the size adjustment system — The bandage can be easily adapted to the child's body thanks to convenient fasteners and straps.
When is a children's bandage needed?
It is worth buying a bandage for a child in the following cases:
- after a fracture or dislocation;
- when spraining ligaments;
- during the rehabilitation period after operations;
- in the presence of diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
- in case of need for temporary fixation of a limb or neck.
A correctly selected children's bandage not only speeds up recovery, but also minimizes the risk of complications. For example, an elbow bandage helps reduce the load on the joint, while a neck bandage fixes the neck area after an injury or with pain associated with muscle strain.
