Medrull Elastic Conforming Bandage

• Choose the width to suit the area: narrower widths for wrists, hands and fingers; wider widths for ankles, knees and elbows.
• If covering a wound, put a suitable sterile dressing on first.
• Start below the area and wrap upwards in a spiral, overlapping each turn by about half the width, with light, even tension.
• Secure the end with tape or a clip.
• Check the skin beyond the bandage regularly and re-apply if it loosens or feels tight.

Safety information

Who should not use it

Do not apply over a wound without a dressing underneath. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the bandage materials. If you have poor circulation, diabetes or reduced feeling in the area, ask your doctor before using a bandage.

Warnings & precautions

If the bandage feels too tight, or you notice numbness, tingling, coldness, colour change or increased swelling below it, remove it straight away and re-apply more loosely. A bandage is not a substitute for medical assessment: see your GP or physiotherapist if pain or swelling persists, or after a significant injury (for example if you cannot bear weight or suspect a break). Do not sleep in it unless a healthcare professional advises you to.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

No special precautions.

Possible side effects

Skin redness, irritation or chafing can occur, especially with long wear. If this happens, stop using it and ask your pharmacist for advice.
