Cohesive Bandage

Characteristics:

· Self-Adhesive: The bandage adheres to itself through a cohesive property, which eliminates the need for clips or fasteners to keep it in place.

· Non-Slip: It stays securely wrapped around the injured area without slipping, making it ideal for dynamic and motion-intensive applications.

· Easy to Apply and Remove: Since it doesn’t stick to skin or hair, the bandage is painless to remove and adjust, which is especially beneficial for sensitive skin or hairy areas.

· Elastic and Flexible: Cohesive bandages are stretchable, allowing for a snug and conforming fit that can adapt to any body part without restricting movement.

· Breathable: The material is designed to be breathable, promoting air circulation to the wrapped area and facilitating healing and comfort.

Uses:

· Medical Applications: In the medical field, cohesive bandages are used for securing dressings, splints, and ice packs, supporting sprains and strains, and providing compression to reduce swelling.

· Sports: Athletes often use cohesive bandages for compression to prevent injuries, to secure protective gear, and for rapid injury response.

· Veterinary Use: These bandages are also popular in veterinary medicine for wrapping injuries or post-surgical sites on animals, as they don't adhere to fur and are less stressful to remove.

· General Use: They're also used for general first aid in homes and schools for their ease of use and versatility.
