Flossband: Easy Flossing short-term mobilization bandage

Flossband by Sanctband is a natural rubber band measuring 2 meters long and 5 cm wide, approximately 4-7 times thicker than an average gym band . It's strong and wraps securely around the targeted body part or joint.

Sanctband , in collaboration with renowned sports physiotherapist Sven Kruse , has developed this set of elastic bands comprising 4 different intensity levels based on the Flossband concept.

Why use Flossband?

Through various application options, compression is exerted on the muscles of the band. The high fixation pressure allows for an inhibitory effect on pain receptors and the underlying fascia, thereby loosening adhesions and weak bonds. This is achieved through active and passive movement of the limb wrapped with the band.

When the silk band is released, the fluid stasis or blood ("bottleneck") is eliminated, and fresh blood hydrates the tissue (called the sponge technique). This leads to relief from various types of pain.

When to use Flossband?

Flossbands can be used preventively before and after sports. They are also a useful treatment method in physical therapy. Therapists use flossbands when pain restricts the athlete's or patient's movement.

Flossband improves the body's energy transmission pathways: it generates more power in the tissue, improves viscoelasticity, and requires less energy for mobility due to axial transmission. Due to the resulting pain relief, patients and athletes are able to move significantly better and faster.

Four levels of Flossband:

- Flossband Level 1 : Easy/Lime 1.1 mm: Ideal for elderly patients or those with low pain tolerance, for acute care following shoulder trauma.

- Flossband level 2 : Medium/blue 1.3 mm: Next strongest band in the therapy sequence for elderly patients or connective tissue therapy (achieving work on different layers of tissue).

- Flossband level 3 : Strong/purple 1.6 mm: Third strongest band in the therapy sequence (highest level therapy in elderly patients), in strong muscles it allows regeneration.

- Flossband Level 4 : Very strong/grey 1.8 mm: permissible with a high proportion of muscle. Ideal for regeneration therapy.

The set, developed in collaboration with renowned sports physiotherapist Sven Kruse, consists of four different Flossband strengths. The different resistance levels allow for the generation of specific application levels for differentiated stimulation of various deep tissue layers. This allows the physiotherapist to offer a specific and appropriate Flossband therapy. The four different Flossband strengths also take into account the different tolerance limits of patients.

- Tight wrapping/compression on joints and muscles

- Fixation pressure on pain receptors and fascia

- Preventive and acute application

- Specific application levels due to 4 different band strengths

• Positive effect on joint structure, fascia and receptors.
