Cohesive Bandage 5cm x 4.7m (1)

The Bare Medical cohesive bandage is a self-adherent wrap that sticks only to itself, never to skin or hair. It holds a dressing in place, covers a dressed wound, supports a strapped joint or limb, and secures cold packs, padding and braces. This size is 5cm x 4.7m and one bandage is supplied.

Because it grips itself rather than the patient, it needs no pins or clips, and it comes off without pulling at skin or hair. It tears from the roll by hand, so you can take a length off without scissors. The fabric is soft and porous for breathability, and it is water resistant, so sweat or a splash will not loosen the wrap.

Where it is used

Cohesive bandage suits first aid kits, sports side lines and clinic rooms, anywhere a wrap has to stay put through movement. Because it grips itself rather than skin or hair, this style of bandage is widely known as vet wrap.
