What patients and practitioners say about Fast’n Go hybrid bandages.
“Fast n go bandages are softer, more comfortable, less bulky and easier to use and rewrap in less time. They’re a valuable addition to my daily routine, as I use them in combination with other compression tools. I simply adjust the tension and layering based on the activity they’re needed for. Definitely a huge positive step for the development of more effective and practical lymphedema management!” – Juliana Conte
“I can’t say enough good things about the fast n’ go bandages!!! They’ve made managing my lymphedema a lot easier because the material is so comfortable. I’m able to keep them on for 15+ hrs which I found difficult to do with traditional bandages. They’re effective & comfortable, both things I’ve always wanted in bandages & now I have them! :)” – Hardeep Kaur
“Overall Ease of Application Bandages
The Fast N’ Go bandages are by far the easiest bandages that I have found for a patient to independently apply to their affected limb effectively. This is due to having the 50% overlap lines on the bandages, and the self-adhering Velcro strap to end the bandaging. Additionally, the connector for the bandages is wonderful as some patients can not tolerate adhesives. This connector attaches to both bandages and allows the patients avoid using adhesive.
Use with Fibrosis
Fast N’ Go bandages can be utilized for patients of all lymphedema types; however, patients who have varying levels of fibrosis may need to apply more compression in certain areas than patients without fibrosis. Fast N’ Go bandages can be utilized on top of other types of compression such as foam, cotton, nighttime garments as needed by the individual patient. Utilizing these additional compression items as a base can be helpful if you find that you need additional compression than what is offered from these bandages.
Sizing of the Bandages
I highly recommend patients to order a longer size bandage than what the measurements posted online suggest. The reason for this suggestion is that each patient’s limb varies in Length and circumference in various locations. Due to this variation, patients need to account for this when determining which size of the bandages are needed.” – Catherine Rosenberg

“I have a patient with moderate stage 2 post mastectomy lymphedema. She is 55yrs old and a respiratory therapist at a busy hospital. She was very concerned about having to keep her standard multi layer bandaging system on after leaving her work day.
