Description

The BC Elastic Cohesive Bandage by Bodichek is a versatile and essential tool for anyone in need of reliable support and compression. This lightweight bandage is designed to adhere only to itself, ensuring that it does not stick to skin, hair, or clothing, thus providing a comfortable and pain-free application and removal process.

Key Features

• Self-Adherence: The bandage's unique self-adherent property allows it to stay securely in place without the need for additional adhesives or fasteners. This makes it ideal for securing wound dressings, providing support for soft tissue injuries like strains and sprains, and holding ice or heat packs in place.

• Hand-Tearable: Easily torn by hand in both lengthwise and widthwise directions, eliminating the need for scissors and allowing for quick and convenient application.

• Elasticity and Flexibility: The bandage conforms to body contours, offering adjustable compression and support tailored to individual needs. Its breathable and porous nature ensures comfort by allowing air and moisture vapor to pass through, maintaining skin health.

• Durability and Reusability: Water-resistant and designed to maintain its cohesive properties over time, the bandage is both washable and reusable. It is hypoallergenic, minimizing the risk of skin irritation, although some variants do contain latex.

Materials and Construction

Crafted from woven, knitted, or nonwoven fabrics such as nylon, polyester, or rayon, the bandage incorporates elastic threads for flexibility. Its cohesive coating, made from acrylic resin dispersion, is applied in a microselective pattern, ensuring that it adheres only to itself. This design provides excellent permeability to air and water vapor, enhancing comfort and maintaining the bandage's textile properties.

Available Sizes and Colors

The BC Elastic Cohesive Bandage is available in various widths, including 2.5 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm, and 10 cm, with a standard length of 4.5 meters when stretched. It comes in a range of colors such as tan, white, blue, yellow, red, green, beige, and black, allowing for discreet or visible application as needed.

Typical Applications

This bandage is widely used in medical, sports, and even veterinary settings. It provides support and compression for injuries, secures medical devices, and can be used for splinting alongside rigid splints. In sports, it helps secure equipment like socks and shin-pads, while in veterinary care, it serves as a reliable bandage for animals.

Usage and Maintenance

Easy to apply, reposition, and remove, the bandage offers adjustable compression based on tension and layering. It is recommended to change the bandage every day or two, especially if used on a moist or dirty wound. The bandage can be sterilized without losing its properties and is resistant to aging, ensuring long-term usability.

Safety Considerations

Users are advised not to apply the bandage too tightly to avoid restricting blood circulation. If any skin irritation or allergic reaction occurs, use should be discontinued. For those with latex allergies, checking for latex-free variants is recommended.

The BC Elastic Cohesive Bandage stands out as a durable, versatile, and user-friendly option for various medical and support needs, embodying Bodichek's commitment to quality and innovation.
