What is a Cohesive Bandage?
A Cohesive Bandage is a self-adhesive elastic wrap that sticks to itself but not to the skin and is used for compression, support, and securing dressings or splints. It is made of porous, lightweight, and flexible material that provides conformability and breathability. It also comes in various sizes.
Cohesive bandages can be applied to various body parts, including joints, limbs, and digits, offering adjustable compression and stability. The self-adhesive nature of cohesive bandages allows for secure wrapping without the need for additional fasteners or tape.
AdvaCare Pharma places great importance on the production of cohesive bandages that meet stringent quality and safety standards. Our manufacturing facilities in India, China, and the USA have obtained ISO and CE certifications, demonstrating our dedication to adhering to strict healthcare and regulatory guidelines. We conduct regular inspections to ensure the reliable supply of superior medical supplies.

Uses
How should a Cohesive Bandage be used?
To use a cohesive bandage:
- Start by cleaning and thoroughly drying the area where it will be applied to.
- Apply a non-stick dressing or padding to protect the skin and wound from irritation.
- Begin wrapping the cohesive bandage around the affected area with a gentle yet firm tension, checking that each wrap overlaps the previous one by approximately half of its width. This overlapping technique helps to give uniform compression.
- Continue wrapping until the desired level of compression and stability is achieved, confirming it is not being wrapped too tightly, which could compromise blood circulation or cause discomfort.
- To secure the end of the bandage, gently press it onto itself, taking advantage of its cohesive nature to adhere without sticking to the skin.
What precautions should be considered when using a Cohesive Bandage?
- When using a cohesive bandage, follow any specific instructions supplied by a healthcare professional, especially regarding the duration and frequency of bandage changes.
- Regularly inspect the bandage for signs of loosening, soiling, or loss of elasticity, and replace it promptly if needed.
- Avoid applying cohesive bandages too tightly, as excessive compression can lead to numbness, tingling, or swelling, which may impede circulation and exacerbate underlying conditions.
- Always be vigilant for any indications of skin irritation, excessive pain, or circulation issues while wearing the bandage. If any such symptoms arise, promptly remove the bandage and seek medical advice to prevent further complications.
How does a Cohesive Bandage differ from traditional adhesive bandages?
A cohesive bandage differs from traditional adhesive bandages in several ways:
- Cohesive bandages are self-adhesive, meaning they adhere to themselves when they are wrapped around a limb or body part, but they do not stick to the skin, hair, or other surfaces. This unique property allows for easy application, repositioning, and removal without causing pain or discomfort to the wearer. In contrast, traditional adhesive bandages typically use a sticky adhesive backing to adhere directly to the skin.
- Cohesive bandages offer adjustable compression and support, making them suitable for a wide range of medical applications, including compression therapy and securing dressings or splints. Traditional adhesive bandages, on the other hand, are primarily designed for covering minor wounds or cuts and may not issue the same level of compression as cohesive bandages.
- Cohesive bandages offer versatility, comfort, and ease of use, making them a preferred choice in many medical environments.
Can Cohesive Bandages be used for wound care?
Yes, cohesive bandages can be used for wound care in various medical settings. These bandages are particularly well-suited for securing dressings or wound pads in place, supplying gentle compression to encourage healing and protect the wound from contamination.
The cohesive nature of these bandages guarantees that they adhere securely to themselves without sticking to the skin, minimizing the risk of causing further trauma or irritation to the wound site during application or removal.
Cohesive bandages are breathable and lightweight, allowing for adequate air circulation and moisture management to keep a conducive environment for wound healing.
When using cohesive bandages for wound care, it is all-important to clean and disinfect the wound area thoroughly before applying the bandage and to monitor the wound for any signs of infection or other complications regularly.
Following wound care protocols and replacing the bandage as needed will expedite ideal healing outcomes.
How should Cohesive Bandages be stored to maintain their quality?
To maintain the quality and efficacy of cohesive bandages, it is advised to store them properly in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Ideally, cohesive bandages should be kept in their original packaging or a designated storage container to protect them from dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Avoid storing cohesive bandages near heat sources or in areas with high humidity, as excessive heat and moisture can compromise the integrity of the bandage material and reduce its adhesive properties.
Store cohesive bandages away from sharp objects or rough surfaces that could cause damage to the bandage roll or packaging. Regularly inspect stored cohesive bandages for any signs of damage, such as tears, punctures, or deformation, and discard any compromised or expired products promptly.
Through following good storage practices, healthcare workers can be confident that cohesive bandages remain ready for use when needed, preserving their quality and efficacy over time.
FAQs
How does a Cohesive Bandage work?
A cohesive bandage works by utilizing its self-adhesive properties to adhere to itself when wrapped around a limb or body part.

Randomized trial of Cohesive Short Stretch versus four-layer bandaging
This study compared a generic four-layer bandage system with a cohesive short-stretch bandage in the treatment of venous ulceration. The results showed a small benefit in healing using the four-layer bandage, but a larger study demonstrated a benefit of short-stretch bandaging over multilayer bandaging. However, statistical significance was not achieved in these findings.
Compression Bandage - An Overview
This overview discusses compression bandages, including four-layer bandages that consist of padding with orthopedic wool and cotton crepe layers. Four-layer bandages consist of four superimposed layers: (1) padding with orthopaedic wool, absorbing exudates and protecting bony prominences; (2) cotton crepe bandage, holding the former in place; (3) long stretch elastic bandage; and (4) cohesive bandage, strengthening support and holding it all in place. It provides insights into the components and classification of compression systems used in wound care management.
