Orthoses & bandages as support
Orthoses and bandages help to restore or support mobility in different parts of the body. These body parts can be arms, legs, feet, hands or the torso. Joints can also be surrounded by orthoses or bandages and thereby stabilize them. They relieve pain that occurs after operations, as a result of accidents or from signs of aging by specifically relieving certain regions. They also ensure a healthy movement and avoid protective postures that could lead to subsequent injuries.

Die Unterschiede
The difference between bandages and orthoses is usually the material that is used. Bandages are made of lighter material such as compression knit and offer more flexibility than orthotics. Orthoses, on the other hand, are more complex and made of solid material. They ensure a high level of stability with partially restricted freedom of movement.
Orthoses are needed to stabilize, relieve or fix certain parts of the body. They usually have a complex design and are often used after operations or accidents. Here they support the healing process and ensure better stabilization. The material is stable and suitable for immobilizing and fixing whole areas of the body. Orthoses can also be worn in the form of a bodice or corset. There are also orthoses that are used permanently for chronic and long-term limitations.
Bandages for more freedom of movement
To support the healing process
Bandages help to relieve joints and support movement processes. They also play an important role in prevention. They protect against injuries or further wear and tear and stabilize certain body parts in a targeted manner for individual bodily functions. Bandages are made of a breathable and flexible material and, due to their special construction, ensure a slight compression of the parts of the body they cover. This stimulates blood circulation and promotes a healing process.

Questions & Answers about orthoses and bandages
The biggest difference between an orthosis and a bandage lies in the material and the complexity of both aids. An orthosis has more stability and is often made of solid materials such as plastic. Bandages, on the other hand, consist of a solid knitted fabric that encloses the knee, for example, to give it better support. Bandages ensure greater flexibility than orthoses and have a more supportive and preventive effect.
There are orthoses for almost all areas and parts of the body. Starting with the neck orthosis, through the shoulder orthosis, elbow orthosis, armourthesis, hand orthosis, torso orthosis, hip orthosis, leg orthosis, to the foot orthosis.

Bandages often consist of a breathable and flexible knitted fabric that is kind to the skin. This exerts additional pressure on the enclosed body parts and thus promotes blood circulation. Orthoses, on the other hand, are made of firmer materials and can fix certain parts of the body if necessary.
