Why Choose the 6-Inch Format for Your First Aid Needs?

The 15 cm format is specifically designed for situations where standard bandages fail due to a lack of width. It is ideal for applying uniform pressure to the abdomen, back, or chest, helping to support abdominal muscles after surgery or limiting chest expansion for cracked ribs. Its width prevents the "string effect" (where a narrow bandage digs into the skin), ensuring a much healthier and more effective distribution of pressure. Its durability and resistance to washing make it an economical product for long-term rehabilitation.

Features of the 15 cm (6 in) Elastic Bandage

• XXL Coverage Width: Optimal coverage for the torso, abdomen, hips, and very large thighs.

• Superior Therapeutic Compression: Stabilizes deep muscles and helps reduce edema over large surface areas.

• Medical-Grade Breathable Fabric: Designed to be worn for long periods without causing thermal discomfort.

• Durable Maintenance: Hand-washable, it retains its elasticity and tension after multiple uses.

• Secure Fastening: Comes with clips specifically adapted to the bandage’s width.

How to Install and Use Your 6 in Support Bandage

For the torso or abdomen, begin wrapping while asking the patient to exhale slightly to ensure a firm but non-restrictive fit. For a thigh, wrap upward toward the heart to promote circulation. Ensure each layer overlaps the previous one by at least half the width. Secure the end with the provided clips. Warning: If the patient experiences breathing difficulties or skin tingling, loosen the bandage immediately.

Care Tips for Your Large-Format Bandage

Hand wash the bandage in lukewarm water with mild soap. Do not use a dryer or bleach to preserve the elastic fibers. Air dry flat. Once dry, roll it up carefully so it is ready for use during the next intervention.

Recommended Applications for Professionals

This format is particularly effective for securing giant trauma dressings (such as the 10 x 30 in) or acting as a temporary support belt during emergency transport. It is also widely used in sports medicine for groin or gluteal muscle injuries.
