Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Remove any lotions, oils, or creams.
- Application: Start by anchoring the bandage a few inches below or above the injured area. Stretch the bandage slightly as you wrap it around the affected area.
- Overlap: Overlap each layer of the bandage by about half to ensure adequate compression and support.
- Compression: Adjust the tension to provide the necessary support without cutting off circulation. The bandage should be snug but not uncomfortably tight.
- Securing: The bandage will stick to itself, so no clips or tape are needed. Once the wrap is complete, gently press the end of the bandage to secure it.
- Care: Avoid getting the bandage wet. If it does get wet, remove it, allow the skin to dry, and reapply with a new bandage.
- Removal: Gently unwrap the bandage. It should come off easily without pulling on skin or hair.
