Description: First Step Cohesive Bandage is a self-adhesive, elastic bandage designed for use in a variety of medical and everyday applications. It adheres to itself without the need for clips, pins, or tape, providing a secure, comfortable fit. The bandage is ideal for wrapping wounds, supporting joints, or providing compression to reduce swelling. It’s flexible, breathable, and can be easily torn by hand for quick and convenient use. The 5 cm width is suitable for smaller areas or when precise application is needed. The cohesive material sticks to itself, not to skin or hair, making removal painless.
Ingredients:
- Cohesive Fibers (woven materials that allow the bandage to stick to itself)
- Latex (may be present in some versions, so check packaging for sensitivity)
- Other non-stick and breathable components for comfort and durability.
Usage Instructions:
- Clean the area to be bandaged before application.
- Start wrapping at the base of the wound or injury, overlapping the bandage as you go.
- Wrap tightly enough to secure the area, but not so tight that it causes discomfort or restricts circulation.
- Tear the bandage at the desired length, and press the end onto the wrapped portion to secure it.
- Change the bandage as needed or according to medical advice.
Benefits:
- Self-adhesive, sticks to itself without the need for clips or tape.
