Cohesive Bandages – Buyer’s Guide
Cohesive bandage sticks only to itself, so there is no need for underwrap to stop it sticking to your skin. Cohesive bandage is a compression bandage designed to limit the bleeding and swelling which result from a sports’ injury, with a degree of elasticity the bandage can expand with the swelling after injuries such as a sprained ankle or a knee ligament injury. The earlier you use a cohesive bandage to apply compression to an injury, the quicker healing and rehabilitation can start to take place.
Where there is a weakness following a previous injury, you can use cohesive bandage as a pre-sports wrap to support your ankle, knee, wrist, elbow or shoulder. Also, as it absorbs blood and doesn’t stick to body hair, cohesive bandage is ideal for use as a blood-spill tape.
