Why Choose the 4-Inch Format for Your Healthcare Needs?

The 10 cm format is vital when uniform pressure must be applied over an extensive area. Unlike narrower bandages that can dig into the skin or require too many wraps, the 4-inch width allows for even pressure distribution. This is crucial for reducing edema (swelling) after a serious injury or surgery. It is ideal for treating thigh strains, severe knee sprains, or securing bulky dressings on the torso. Its durability and washability make it a cost-effective and reliable rehabilitation tool.

How to Install and Use Your 4 in Support Bandage

For maximum effectiveness, begin wrapping below the injury site and move upward toward the heart. Apply consistent tension, ensuring each layer overlaps the previous one by approximately 50%. The 10 cm width makes it easier to achieve a stable wrap on bulky muscles like the quadriceps. Secure the end with the provided clips. Important Note: If you experience loss of sensation, tingling, or if the skin changes color, loosen the bandage immediately to restore circulation.

Care Tips for Your Elastic Equipment

Hand wash your bandage in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or a dryer, as intense heat breaks down the elastic fibers. Lay flat to air dry. Once dry, roll it up firmly so it is ready for its next use.

Recommended Applications for First Responders
