Safe and Sound Health’s Self-Adhesive bandage is a multifunctional self-adhesive first aid dressing. It can be used to create and apply localised pressure to soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, muscle injuries, swollen limbs and bruising. The Self-Adhesive Bandage applies even and stable pressure to the injured area, and the stretchy material allows you to choose the level of compression you need depending on how much support is required.

The Self-Adhesive Bandage sticks to itself, making application easy and hassle-free. The bandage is free from adhesives or glues and only sticks to itself, not the skin or hairs, and leaves no residue once removed. The bandage can easily be removed and reapplied when necessary. As the self-adhesive bandage sticks to itself, there is no need for additional tapes or pins to secure the bandage.

Use our Self-Adhesive Bandage as a versatile compression bandage as part of RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression and elevation) following a soft-tissue injury or as a secondary dressing to secure additional first aid dressings and bandages in place.

• Secures to itself without needing additional tapes or pins
• Adheres to itself, not the skin or hair
• Easy and painless to remove
• Leaves no glue or residue on the skin after removal
• Can be removed and reapplied
• The flexible and stretchy material can be used to provide compression and support to weak or injured joints
• Stretchy material allows you to choose the level of compression required

Application 

1. Unroll the required amount of bandage
2. Begin to unroll the bandage around the injured joint or affected area
3. To add compression, stretch the bandage as you unroll (take care not to apply too tightly and check for signs of constriction after application e.g. discolouration)
4. Keep unrolling the bandage until you have sufficiently supported the injury or secured dressings
5. The self-adhesive bandage will stick to itself by gently pressing on the bandage

2. Hold the bandage at the base of the finger and slowly withdraw the applicator. Once the base of the applicator is just above the top of the finger twist the applicator round once
3. Push the applicator back down the finger, so the bandage is double in thickness. Remove the applicator.
4. Secure the bandage in place using adhesive tape

Application (Open-end bandage)

Before applying the finger bandage, ensure the wound is clean and dry.

1. Measure and cut the bandage to approximately the length of the finger to be treated. Follow the instructions for the closed-end bandage. However, when withdrawing the applicator stop before you get to the end of your finger
2. Twist the applicator half a turn. As with the closed-end bandage, push the applicator back towards the base of the finger
3. Secure the bandage in place using adhesive tape

Application (Tied Bandage)

Before applying the finger bandage, ensure the wound is clean and dry.

1. Measure and cut the bandage 4 to 5 times the length of the finger to be treated. Follow the instruction for the closed-end bandage. However, once the second layer of the bandage has been applied, keep the remainder of the applicator and cut down each side
2. Remove the applicator and tie the two loose strips together at the base of the bandage to prevent it from tearing
3. Wrap the two pieces around the wrist and tie securely
