Does Actico slip?
As Actico is a cohesive bandage, it stays in place even when the limb size reduces. However, as with all compression bandages ( including the elastic bandages ), rapid reduction in the grossly oedematous limb may necessitate more frequent application. “Actico removes the potential of slippage and resolves the problem; although, like the multilayer bandages, there is the possibility it will be looser during the first application following the reduction of oedema.
