Bandages

Bandages offer the ability to fit any body shape and provide support as they are available in a variety of sizes and types. Depending on the place of application you can choose between knee bandage, ankle bandage, elbow bandage, shoulder bandage, hand bandage, etc. There are various types of bandages, with the most well-known being:

  • Elastic bandages
  • Adhesive bandages
  • Cast bandages
  • Tube net bandages
  • Orthopedic bandages
  • Synthetic cast

The use of bandages provides multiple benefits. In particular, they relieve pain as they provide compression and support, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation. They improve circulation to the affected area resulting in reduced swelling of inflammation, which improves blood flow. Finally, elastic bandages can be adjusted to provide support to any part of the body to ensure that the injured muscle or joint is properly supported.

  • To apply a bandage correctly: 
  • Clean and dry the area where it will be applied
