Medrull Fix-O! Cohesive Elastic Bandage

• Choose the width: 5cm suits fingers, hands and wrists; 7.5cm suits ankles, elbows and knees.
• Put a suitable dressing over any wound first.
• Unroll a little and wrap around the area with light tension, overlapping each turn by about half the width. Do not stretch it fully, as cohesive bandages tighten slightly once applied.
• Press the last turn down to make it stick to the layer below; tear or cut to length.
• Check the skin beyond the bandage regularly and re-apply if it 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 a latex allergy, check the pack before use, as some cohesive bandages contain latex. If you have poor circulation, diabetes or reduced feeling in the area, ask your doctor before using a bandage.

Warnings & precautions

Cohesive bandages can tighten after application, so wrap loosely. 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.

Always read the label

Always read the label and the instructions before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
