EAB bandage, short for Elastic Adhesive Bandage, is a cotton stretch bandage with a strong adhesive backing that is commonly used in sports injury treatment and medical settings.
Sizes: | 2.5/5/7.5/10cm*4.5m |
Characteristics:
Elasticity: EAB bandages are highly elastic, allowing them to stretch and conform to the shape of the body part they are applied to. This elasticity provides support and compression, which can help reduce swelling and stabilize the injured area.
Adhesive: They feature an adhesive backing that sticks to the skin and
itself, ensuring the bandage stays in place during activities. The adhesive is
designed to be strong enough to hold the bandage securely but can be removed
without causing significant discomfort or damage to the skin.
Breathable: Despite being adhesive, many EAB bandages are designed to be breathable to prevent moisture buildup under the bandage, which could lead to skin irritation or infection.
Versatile: EAB bandages can be used on various parts of the body, including joints like ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows, making them versatile for different types of injuries or support needs.
Uses:
Injury Support: EAB bandages are commonly used to provide support and stability to injured muscles and joints, helping to prevent further injury and aid in the recovery process.
Compression Therapy: They can be applied to manage swelling and reduce bleeding in soft tissue injuries by providing consistent compression to the affected area.
Securing Dressings: The adhesive property of EAB bandages makes them ideal for securing dressings in place, especially in areas where movement might dislodge traditional bandages.
Sports Applications: In sports, EAB bandages are often used for wrapping ankles, knees, and wrists to provide support and protection during activities, as well as to prevent or manage sports-related injuries.
