Troubleshooting

Bandage slips or feels too loose

Ensure the bandage is cut to an appropriate length and applied with consistent, gentle tension. If the limb tapers significantly, consider using a smaller width or layering techniques as advised by a healthcare professional.

Bandage feels too tight or causes discomfort/indentation

The bandage has been applied too tightly. Loosen and reapply, ensuring there is no constriction. Check for any signs of circulatory compromise, such as numbness, tingling, or discoloration.

Skin irritation develops under the bandage

Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. The fabric may not be suitable for very sensitive individuals.

Bandage is difficult to cut cleanly

Use sharp fabric scissors for a clean cut. Dull scissors can snag the fabric and create an uneven edge.
