  1. SHORT-STRETCH COMPRESSION BANDAGES SHORT STRETCH SHORT-STRETCH COMPRESSION BANDAGES PROVIDE COMPRESSION COMBINED WITH HIGH RESISTANCE TO STRETCHING. SHORT- STRETCH FABRICS ARE DESIGNED TO EXTEND NO MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THEIR ORIGINAL LENGTH WHEN STRETCHED. IN CONTRAST, LONG-STRETCH FABRICS USUALLY INCORPORATE MORE TRADITIONALLY ELASTIC FABRICS OR COMPONENTS, WHICH ALLOW THEM TO BE EXTENDED TO ABOUT 140% OF THEIR ORIGINAL LENGTH. SHORT-STRETCH COMPRESSION BANDAGES PROVIDE THE KIND OF PERMANENT, WORKING PRESSURE NEEDED TO ENCOURAGE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE AT REST. IN CONTRAST, LONG-STRETCH BANDAGES, SUCH AS DRUGSTORE "ACE" BANDAGES, ARE INAPPROPRIATE FOR THIS USE. BY STRETCHING TOO MUCH, THEY'RE SIMPLY INADEQUATE TO THE TASK OF SUPPLYING CONSTANT RESISTANCE TO THE UNDERLYING TISSUES WHEN THE MUSCLES ARE AT REST. LIKE ANY PROPERLY APPLIED COMPRESSION AID, SHORT-STRETCH COMPRESSION BANDAGES CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE VENOUS FLOW AND ENCOURAGE PROPER LYMPHATIC FLUID DRAINAGE.
