A brown elastic compression bandage, 5 cm wide, wrapped around a joint or muscle to secure a dressing or provide light compression and support after minor sprains and bruises. A basic item for a home first aid kit.
Key Features
- A 5 cm width suits small areas such as the wrist, hand and fingers.
- Elasticity allows wrapping around a joint while maintaining some movement.
- Can secure gauze or dressings after cleaning and covering a wound.
- A subtle brown colour is less visible than white bandages.
- Lightweight and easy to keep in a home, car or gym first aid kit.
How to Use
- Begin wrapping farther from the heart and move towards it, covering about half of the previous turn with each wrap.
- Maintain even, comfortable tension without excess, then fasten the end with a clip or medical adhesive tape.
- After wrapping, check that fingers are warm, normally coloured and movable.
Who Is It For?
For home and sports use, and people needing to secure a dressing or lightly support a small joint after a minor injury.
Precautions
- Remove immediately if numbness, coldness, bluish extremities or increased pain develops.
- Removal before sleep is preferred unless a doctor directs otherwise.
- Do not apply directly to an open wound without a sterile dressing.
- Severe pain, major swelling or suspected fracture requires medical consultation.
