Farmalastic elastic cohesive bandage is made of non-woven material that causes less skin irritation and can be easily torn without the use of scissors. Its self-adhesive structure is comfortable to wear, waterproof and leaves no foreign odours or sticky residue on the skin when the bandage is removed. The material is so elastic that it can be stretched to twice its length and provides a good fit that compresses the area to be treated safely and effectively.
It is useful for use in sports protection, first aid, sprains and inflammations on different parts of the body such as ankles, wrists, elbows, knees and feet. To hold the self-adhesive bandage it is not necessary to use hooks or pins that can damage the skin. In addition, it is a reliable item that will not fall apart or be deformed by sweat or moisture. The cohesive bandage offers excellent support, is light, porous and delicate.
Its composition is latex-free, so it does not cause allergies or skin rashes that can worsen the treated injury. It is reusable and its crimped backing allows for better control of the tension to be applied to the area. This reduces the risk of compromising blood vessels and nerves. The porous structure of the bandage allows it to adhere to itself and not to the skin so that the compression exerted can be controlled thanks to its excellent adherence.
It is hypoallergenic and can also be used to treat small fissures in long bones and venous lesions in the lower extremities. It can also be used as a post-surgical or immobilisation bandage on limbs and joints in case of tears, sprains and strains. It is easy and quick to apply and the great self-adhesion capacity of its fabric provides an excellent fixation both at the beginning and during treatment. Its S and Z woven backing allows cuts or holes to be made without the bandage fraying or distorting.
