Tubular Compression Bandage

Tubular Compression Bandage is a specially designed, elasticated tubular bandage that provides firm but comfortable support and compression for sprains, strains and weak joint.

It is one of the best ways to provide support and reduce swelling after injuries, and can be used to help reduce persistent swelling. It can also be used to keep dressings in place. The benefits of it over other bandages are that it is easy to apply (just pull it on), it stays in place all day without the need for pins or tape and it is reusable and easy to wash.

How to apply for muscle strains, sprains and joints:
1. measure around the widest part of the limb to be treated, to determine the correct size bandage.
2. Cut the bandage to twice the length equired for the limb. Allow an extra 2-3 cm for overlap.
3. Apply the bandage like a stocking (with the use of correct sized applicator if necessary).
4. Double the bandage back over the limb/ Ensure the upper edge is taken 2-3 cm higher up the limb than the first.

For application to the wrist with thumb piece:
1. As mentioned above.
2. Cut the bandage to twice the length required for the arm.
3. Fold the bandage into half and make 1 cm long cuts into each half of the bandage on one side in approximately 2 cm to 5 cm from the fold.
4. Pull the first half of the bandage up the arm and place the thumb through the first hole.
5. Double the bandage back over the arm and ensure the thumb is placed through the second hole.

Size: the size is the width of the dressing. For example, size A is 4.5 cm wide and has a circumference of 9 cm.
