Troubleshooting
Bandage not sticking to itself
Ensure the bandage surface and the previous layer are clean and dry. Excessive lint or moisture can reduce adhesion.
Bandage feels too tight or restricts circulation
Unwrap and reapply with less tension. The bandage should be snug but not constricting. Ensure you can easily slide a finger under the bandage.
Skin irritation occurs
Discontinue use immediately. This may indicate a latex allergy or sensitivity. Consult a healthcare professional.
Bandage loses effectiveness quickly
Ensure the bandage is applied correctly with sufficient overlap. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or dirt, which can degrade adhesion over time.
