Cohesive sports bandage roll that sticks to itself and not to skin or hair. Easy unwind for controlled application. Non-slip bandaging for support or compression. Adheres to itself so no need for pins or tape. Can be unwound carefully and reused if required. It does not stick to the skin. Unlike other strapping tapes, the cohesive sports bandage roll does not stick directly to the skin; however, it does stick to itself. This means the bandage is easier to apply and much easier and pain-free to remove. The bandage coheres together rather than using any adhesive, meaning taping and strapping can be performed much quicker. The bandage can stretch up to twice its length. Made from high-quality, latex-free fabric, this cohesive bandage is both flexible and durable. Designed to be gentle on the skin, it adheres only to itself, ensuring a secure hold without causing irritation or discomfort. Perfect for securing dressings and providing light support to sprains, strains, and other minor injuries. The cohesive nature of the bandage makes it ideal for both medical professionals and home use, offering versatile applications. This bandage sticks only to itself, not to skin or hair, eliminating the need for additional tapes or fasteners. It can be easily torn by hand, providing convenience and speed during application, especially in emergency situations. Each package contains 10 cohesive bandages, each measuring 4.5 meters in length and 5 cm in width. Keep the bandage away from eyes and store it in a cool, dry place. The latex-free material ensures it is safe for sensitive skin, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Follow proper application techniques for optimal support and compression.

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.

How many bandages are included in a package?

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.
