Compression Bandages
Compression bandages give you the firm support you need when you are on the mend. Check out our offerings to make sure you have the necessary supplies for your first aid kit.
Compression bandages can be wrapped around a twisted ankle or jammed wrist to offer additional support when the area is injured. Applying the bandage tightly and immediately after an injury can help limit swelling. These bandages can also be used along with a brace to immobilize a joint for more serious injuries. A compression bandage can be used to hold a cold or hot compress to a patient's body and eliminates the hassle of holding the pack in place, like if you need to ice their shoulder. A wrap bandage can give a little extra support to a recently healed and still tender injury to help prevent re-injury. A compression bandage can also be used as a makeshift sling in a pinch.
Make sure to inspect your compression bandages and throw them away if they are past their usefulness. Look for stains and other signs of use. Even though a compression bandage may not come into contact with an open wound, you still want to make sure it is sanitary. If the bandage is not clean it may cause skin irritation and should be disposed of to prevent cross contamination. Many compression bandages have some stretch and elastic built in, if your bandage has lost the extra spring and stretch, retire it to the trash and replace it.
