Artiflex Non-Woven Padding Bandage

If you're layering a compression bandage system for lymphedema or venous care, what goes on underneath matters just as much as the compression layer itself. JOBST Artiflex is a non-woven padding bandage designed to sit between skin and compression wrap, cushioning sensitive tissue and helping distribute pressure evenly so the therapy above it actually does its job comfortably.

Artiflex is genuinely multipurpose. In phlebological and lymphedema applications, it protects skin that's already under stress from swelling or fragility, reducing the risk of friction or pressure points during extended wear. It also doubles as under-padding for plaster or synthetic casts, making it a practical staple for any clinic that handles both compression therapy and orthopedic immobilization.

The fabric itself is built for real clinical use: breathable enough for comfort during multi-day wear, easy to tear by hand for fast application without scissors, and autoclavable for settings that require sterilization and reuse of clinic supplies. It's also made without natural rubber latex, which matters for clinics managing latex-sensitive patients.

Whether you're padding under a short-stretch bandage for a lymphedema patient or protecting skin beneath a cast, Artiflex is the kind of unglamorous, dependable layer that keeps the rest of the treatment working the way it's supposed to.
