• Pain - the elastic adhesive fabric tape reduces pain by taking pressure off the pain receptors
• Lymphatic - the elastic adhesive bandage tape eliminates lymphatic fluid (swelling) under the skin
• Joint - the elastic plaster tape adjusts mis-alignment to aid skin and muscle function
• Muscle - the eab bandage supports and strengthens the muscle

• Latex-free acrylic adhesive used on our elastic adhesive fabric tape allows it to adhere safely and comfortably to the skin. As it is heat-activated, the tape attaches itself firmly to the skin even during vigorous activities.
• The cotton fabric allows moisture to evaporate through the material.
• The elastic plaster tape thickness is manufactured to approximate the thickness of the skin’s epidermis.
• This allows athletes to move and feel in a natural manner.
• Water resistant: acrylic adhesive stays firmly attached to the skin even in wet conditions.

Instructions for using Elastic Adhesive Bandage

Elastic adhesive bandages, commonly known as "self-adhesive bandages," are used for securing dressings, providing support, and compression for sprains, strains, or injuries.

Here are step-by-step instructions for using an elastic adhesive bandage:

1. Prepare the Area

• Clean the Skin: Make sure the area where you'll be applying the bandage is clean and dry. Wash and dry any wounds or injuries before using the bandage.
• Check the Injury: Ensure that the injury (e.g., sprain, strain, or wound) is treated (cleaned, and, if necessary, covered with sterile dressings) before bandaging.

2. Unroll the Bandage

Remove the bandage from its packaging. Unroll the elastic adhesive bandage from the roll, but don’t unravel the entire roll at once—this will help you maintain better control as you apply it.

3. Start Wrapping

• Position the Bandage: Begin by placing the loose end of the bandage on the skin near the injury site, typically starting below or above the injured area. If it's an ankle, you might start just above the foot.
• Wrap Tightly but Not Too Tight: Wrap the bandage around the injury. Apply even pressure but avoid wrapping it too tightly, as it could restrict blood circulation.
• Tip: If wrapping a joint (like the wrist, knee, or ankle), try to follow the natural contours of the body part as you wrap to ensure a snug fit.

4. Overlap Each Layer

Continue wrapping in a spiral or figure-eight pattern, overlapping each layer of bandage by about half of its width. This provides support and ensures that the bandage will stay in place.

• For a Joint: If you're wrapping a joint like the knee, ankle, or elbow, use a figure-eight pattern, which allows the bandage to move more flexibly and provide better support.

5. Secure the Bandage

Once the injury is fully covered and you've wrapped around the area, secure the loose end of the bandage.

Most elastic adhesive bandages come with a self-adhesive section at the end, allowing you to stick the bandage to itself. If your bandage doesn’t have this feature, you may need to use medical tape to secure it.

6. Check for Comfort and Circulation

Ensure that the bandage is snug but not too tight. You should be able to move the affected area slightly, and there should be no discomfort or tingling.

• Signs of Too Tight: If the area below the bandage becomes cold, blue, or swollen, or if there is a tingling or numb feeling, the bandage is too tight and should be loosened.
