1.) Dressing Retention / Blood Tape
Because cohesive bandage is so quick and easy to handle, it is well suited for retaini ng dressings such as trauma pads or low-adherent dressings. You just place the dres sing on the wound, and wrap over with the cohesive bandage (making sure to comp letely cover the dressing.) Because cohesive bandage is very stretchy you can apply quite a high level of compression to contain heavy bleeding. http://www.med-fit.co.uk

2.) Ankle Support Wrap
Minor ankle injuries happen all the time in sport, and cohesive bandage provides a cheap and effective way of treating them. After cooling the i njury with an ice pack, use cohesive bandage to form a simple support a nd compression wrap. http://www.med-fit.co.uk

3.) Shin Pad Wrap
Cohesive bandage offers a fast and simple way of securing your shin pad s so they don’t flap or move around, and is particularly useful if you favo ur the slip-in style of pad. Just wrap the shin pad onto your leg (a couple of turns is enough,) tear off the tape and press down the loose end. http://www.med-fit.co.uk

4.) Splint and Brace Retention
Cohesive bandage is soft and flexible and, unlike adhesive tapes, doesn’ t require any pressure to be applied in order to stick firmly. These prope rties make it useful for strapping splints to very painful injuries like fract ures and severe sprains and hyperextensions. http://www.med-fit.co.uk
