Do you prefer the traditional multi layer bandaging or the new Coban system

What is the new Coban system? Can someone answer this for me. I may know it as something else. Thanks

If you google Coban it will bring up some websites, hope that helps aussiegirl

I am new to this site so not sure if you can put links on here.

Have tried the coban did not work for me, and getting all the bandages was a nightmare, have gone back to multilayer bandaging as the results are better.

I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to report my son's experience. He has had both multilayer bandaging and intensive wrapping with Coban. The latter was not as effective. I don't know whether it was because his condition has progressed over the last few years and any therapy would have been less effective, but I suspect not. With multi layer over 3 weeks, he lost 1.5 litres of fluid. For Coban, it was only .5. Also, despite using a cotton lining, the treatment irritated the hairs on his legs and he had red lumps all over which worried me a lot, although none of them got infected. He did the same level of exercise (lots of walking) during both treatments.
