Basic Elastic Adhesive Bandage

For those working as a sports physiotherapist, elastic adhesive bandaging is used frequently and can be a huge cost to your business as a result. The Basic Elastic Adhesive Bandage is an economy elastic adhesive bandage that retains its lightweight, compressing qualities which do so well to prevent and treat sprained ankles.

How Does the Adhesive Bandage Work?

The Adhesive Bandage is commonly used to strap and immobilise certain areas of the body - predominantly joints - such as the ankles, knees, hands and wrists. It conforms to the body easily to best protect from damage. The bandage is able to stretch and is made of cotton with an adhesive back so it stays in place and doesn't unfurl.

Who Can Use the Bandage?

People who play sports, such as rugby and football players, are most likely to need the Basic Adhesive Bandage in both the prevention and treatment of sprains and pain. If you often work with sportspeople, it is vital that you keep a good stock of Adhesive Bandages as you never know when one of your clients will need to use it.

Sizing of the Elastic Adhesive Bandage

The bandaging is available in three different sizes, so you'll be prepared for any situation which arises:

How Do You Use the Basic Bandage?

1. Identify the joint or area of the body which needs immobilising and support
2. Unfurl the bandage a little and place the end of the bandaging over the joint or area in question
3. Holding the end of the bandage to your client's skin, begin to wrap the bandaging around the joint
4. Keep wrapping until the joint is sufficiently protected
5. Once this is done, use scissors to cut the bandage
6. Press the exposed end of the bandage down so it stays in place
