What is Mobiderm®?

Mobiderm® bandaging system is a complete care solution designed to support the treatment of oedema (swelling).

Originally developed for lymphoedema management, Mobiderm® is effective on all types of oedema, including swelling caused by trauma or post-operative recovery.

The Mobiderm® bandaging system is typically used during the reduction phase and relies on a four-layered bandaging technique that promotes optimal decongestion and improved patient comfort.

Key benefits of using the Mobiderm® technology

1. Stimulating the lymphatic vessels to remove the lymphatic load.

2. Reduces rebound by activating the initial lymphatic vessels 

3. Reduces filtration

4. Softens fibrosis

A specific mode of action

Cubes have been specifically chosen to create the relief effect. Once encased in the non-woven material, their final position is not flat. The cubes protrude slightly, with their edges pointing outward, which generates higher localized pressure in the tissues.This design creates a pressure differential between the contact points of the cubes and the surrounding areas, promoting effective tissue decongestion.

Most products compress to reduce filtration.
Mobiderm® stimulates the initial lymphatics helping remove lymph load and reduce filtration.

The Mobiderm® bandaging system stey by step

Step 1 Protect the skin: Cover the limb with a cotton bandage in a spiral. Thuasne® Cotton Short Stretch Bandage creates a shearing effect and protects the skin.

Step 2 Mobilize the oedema: Cover the limb with Mobiderm® (15mm x 15mm blocks for limbs) (5mm x 5mm blocks for on top of hands or feet) ensuring no gaps in a spiral single layer.

Step 3 Contain the oedema: Cover the Mobiderm® in a spiral half cover overlap  with Biflexideal Short Stretch Bandage ( Light compression)

Step 4 Compress the oedema: Cover the Biflexideal with Biflex 16+ or 17+ Medium Stretch Bandage (Higher compression) following the bandage markings. BIFLEX 16+ (light) is recommended for mild to moderate lymphedema. BIFLEX 17+ (strong) is recommended for moderate to severe lymphedema.

Mobiderm® treatment plan

DAYTIME: Apply the 4-layer Mobiderm bandage in the morning and leave it on throughout the day.

NIGHTTIME: Remove the 4th layer (Biflex 16+ or 17+), patient sleeps with the first 3 layers in place. 

TREATMENT COURSE: the duration depends on the severity of the lymphoedema, but a minimum of 3–5 days is recommended. After this period, reassess swelling to determine whether additional treatment is needed—often a further 3–5 days.
