Product Information

Full details

The Reliance Medical Cohesive Bandage is designed for athletes, medical professionals, and home users needing reliable support or compression without skin irritation. Its key benefit is its self-adhering nature, which eliminates the need for pins or tape, offering quick and easy application and removal. A minor consideration is its reliance on itself for adhesion, meaning it can lose effectiveness if not stored properly or if the surface it adheres to becomes soiled.

FAQs

Does this bandage stick to skin or hair?

No, the Reliance Medical Cohesive Bandage is designed to stick only to itself and not to skin or hair, making application and removal comfortable and pain-free.

What are the dimensions of each bandage roll?

Each bandage roll measures 5 cm in width and 4.5 meters in length.

Is this bandage suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is made from high-quality, latex-free fabric, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or latex allergies.

How many bandages are included in a package?

Each package contains 10 cohesive bandages.

Can I reuse this bandage?

The bandage can be carefully unwound and reused if its cohesive properties are maintained. Ensure it is stored cleanly and properly between uses.

How do I apply the bandage for effective support?

Apply the bandage with controlled tension, overlapping each layer by about half its width. Press the final layer firmly onto the previous layer to secure it. It can stretch up to twice its length for variable compression.

What should I do if the bandage loses its stickiness?

Ensure the surface of the bandage is clean and dry. Avoid contamination with dust or oils. If it has lost significant adhesion due to age or repeated use, a new bandage may be required.

Troubleshooting

Bandage not sticking to itself

Ensure the surface of the bandage is clean and dry. Check that you are overlapping the bandage onto itself and applying firm pressure. If the bandage is old or has been exposed to dust/dirt, its adhesive properties may be reduced.

Bandage feels too tight or restricts circulation

Unwrap the bandage and reapply with less tension. Ensure you are not overlapping layers too excessively and that the bandage stretches up to twice its length, allowing for controlled application.

Bandage unravels during use

Ensure the end of the bandage is securely pressed onto the previous layer. Overlap each successive layer by at least half its width. Make sure the bandage is applied directly to itself and not to a slippery surface like smooth clothing.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction

Although latex-free, discontinue use if irritation occurs. Ensure the bandage is not applied too tightly, which can cause pressure-related issues. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sticks only to itself, not skin or hair, for comfortable application and removal.
  • Eliminates the need for pins or adhesive tape, streamlining the bandaging process.
  • Provides excellent non-slip support and compression during physical activity.
  • The latex-free material makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Easy to tear by hand for quick and convenient use.

Cons

  • Adhesion can be reduced if the bandage surface becomes dirty or wet.
  • May not provide the same level of rigid support as traditional medical tapes for severe injuries.
  • Reusable nature depends on maintaining its cohesive properties; repeated use might degrade adhesion over time.
  • Requires careful storage to maintain tackiness and prevent contamination.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the desired length of the bandage.
  2. Apply the bandage to the injured or supported area, ensuring it is snug but not constricting circulation.
  3. Overlap subsequent layers by approximately half the bandage width.
  4. Press the final layer firmly onto the previous layer to secure the bandage.

Compatibility:

  • This bandage is compatible with securing dressings, splints, and providing general support.
  • It is suitable for use on skin, hair, and clothing without sticking.
  • It is safe for use on sensitive skin due to its latex-free composition.

Care:

  • Store the bandage in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep away from eyes.
  • To maintain its cohesive properties, ensure the unused portion is rolled tightly and secured properly after each use.
  • If the bandage surface becomes soiled, it may lose some of its adhesion. Clean gently with a dry cloth if necessary, but avoid washing.
