ABSTRACT:
A compression bandage according to the present invention includes an expandable band that overlaps a post-operative breast to support and provide secondary compression, and compression flaps each having first and second ends, the first ends being connected to the expandable band adjacent the area to be compressed and the second ends being securable. The compression flaps compress the post-operative breast when longitudinally extended, and maintain the compression when the second ends are fastened. The compression bandage further comprises at least one shoulder support or strap connected to the expandable band to reduce movement of the bandage. The compression bandage can also have an support belt attached to the expandable band for supporting the area to be compressed.
