Why Choose an Elastic Support Bandage for Your Care?

Unlike standard gauze bandages, an elastic bandage exerts active pressure that helps reduce swelling (edema) and stabilizes injured joints without completely restricting movement. The 2-inch format is specifically suited for smaller joints such as the wrist, ankle, or elbow. Its durable design allows it to be washed and reused, making it an economical and sustainable solution for physical rehabilitation. Whether for post-operative support or preventing injury during physical activity, this bandage offers the versatility needed for a safe recovery.

Features of the 5 cm (2 in) Elastic Bandage

• Superior Elasticity: Provides adjustable compression based on the tension applied during wrapping.

• Compact Format: 5 cm width is ideal for precision on narrow limbs (wrists, hands, ankles).

• Breathable Material: Allows the skin to breathe, reducing heat and moisture buildup.

• Reusable: Hand-washable to maintain hygiene throughout the healing process.

• Fasteners Included: Sold with clips or closure systems for quick and easy installation.

How to Install and Use Your Support Bandage

For maximum effectiveness, begin wrapping below the injured area and move upward (toward the heart) to promote venous return. Apply firm but comfortable tension; the bandage should support without cutting off circulation. Ensure each layer overlaps the previous one by approximately half the width of the bandage. Secure the end with the provided clips or medical tape. Important: If you experience tingling, numbness, or if the skin turns blue, loosen the bandage immediately.

How to Maintain Your Reusable Elastic Bandage

To extend the life of your bandage, hand wash it in lukewarm water with mild soap. Avoid vigorous wringing; instead, press it into a towel and lay it flat to air dry. Do not use a dryer, as intense heat degrades the elastic fibers. Once dry, roll it up firmly so it is ready for its next use.

Usage Tips for Athletes and Workers

This bandage is ideal for applying the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). It can also be used to hold ice packs in place on an acute injury. For workers performing repetitive motions, it provides preventive support that helps reduce muscle fatigue.

FAQ Regarding the 5 cm Elastic Support Bandage

Does this bandage contain latex?

Most standard elastic bandages contain latex to provide stretch. If you have a known allergy, check the label or opt for a version specifically identified as "latex-free."

Can I sleep with an elastic bandage on?

It is generally discouraged to wear a tight compression bandage overnight, as blood circulation naturally slows down during rest. Consult a healthcare professional for specific recommendations.

What is the difference between this and a cohesive bandage?

A support bandage (Tensor) requires clips or tape to stay in place and is washable/reusable. A cohesive bandage (like Coban) sticks to itself, is often single-use, and is not typically washable.
