First Step Self-Adherent Compression Bandage is a 2.5 cm wide elastic bandage whose layers adhere to one another when wrapped, holding it in place without clips or pins. It provides light compression and support for fingers and small joints, and secures dressings and gauze in home and sports first aid.
Key Features
- Self-adherent: each turn sticks to the layer underneath, keeping the bandage secure without clips.
- Elastic and stretchable to adapt to the finger or joint shape and distribute pressure evenly.
- A 2.5 cm width suits fingers, toes and narrow areas.
- Cut with scissors to the length needed for the site of use.
- Useful for securing a dressing or gauze over a minor wound without sticking tape to the skin.
How to Use
- Make sure the area is clean and dry, and apply a dressing or gauze first if there is a wound.
- Begin wrapping from the part farthest from the body towards it, overlapping each turn by about half its width.
- Apply light, even tension, then press the end so it adheres to the previous layer.
- Check finger colour and sensation after wrapping to ensure the bandage is not too tight.
Who Is It For?
- Athletes needing finger support during or after training.
- First aid kits in homes, cars and workplaces.
- Securing dressings for adults and children under adult supervision.
Precautions
- Do not wrap tightly, as this may obstruct circulation. Remove immediately if numbness, coldness or a skin colour change occurs.
- Do not apply directly to an open wound without a sterile dressing.
- Consult a doctor for severe pain, marked swelling or suspected fracture or severe sprain.
- For external use. Store in a dry place.
