Acofar Cohesive Elastic Bandage 8cmx4m

- Self-adhesive: it adheres to itself without the need for clips or tape.

- Controlled elasticity: combines cotton and spandex for uniform compression and anatomical adaptation.

- Breathability: fabric that reduces moisture buildup and improves comfort.

- Versatility: useful in sprains, strains, securing dressings and sports activities.

- Easy cutting and adjustment: adapt the length to the area to be treated without special tools.

- Compatibility with personal care: does not interfere with hygiene products such as mouthwash, toothbrushes, deodorants, bath gels or intimate hygiene.

- Minimizes irritation: it does not stick directly to the skin, reducing pulling when removing it.

What type of injuries is this bandage indicated for?

Indicated for mild to moderate sprains, muscle strains, dressing containment, temporary joint stabilization and support in sports activities or rehabilitation.

Is the product sterile and suitable for open wounds?

It is not sterile. It is not recommended for use as a primary dressing on open wounds or infected areas; in these cases, sterile products should be used and/or a healthcare professional should be consulted.

Does it have antimicrobial properties or protect against viruses and fungi?

It has no documented antimicrobial activity; it does not eliminate bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Its function is mechanical (compression and support).

How long can it be kept on?

There is no standard duration in hours indicated by the manufacturer. The effective duration depends on the condition of the tissue, the activity performed, and the cleanliness of the bandage; consider replacing it if it loses cohesion, becomes damp, or causes circulatory discomfort.

Can it be washed and reused?

It is not designed to be sterilized. For non-clinical use, it can be reused occasionally if it retains its cohesion and cleanliness, but it is not recommended after exposure to bodily fluids or contamination.

Does it need accessories to secure it?

No. Cohesive adhesion allows the bandage to be fixed without clips or tape; external fasteners can be used if desired, but are not necessary.

Is there any health certification?

The manufacturer does not specify specific health certifications for this product in the available information.

- Check product integrity and skin cleanliness in the area to be covered.

- Cut the roll to the necessary length according to the anatomical area to be treated.

- Start the application by anchoring a short length without tension and overlapping layers with approximately 30–50% overlap to achieve homogeneous compression.

- Apply light, progressive pressure; avoid excessive tension that could compromise circulation.

- Remove creases or wrinkles during application to avoid pressure points.

- To remove, undo the layers and carefully separate the bandage from the skin to minimize pulling.

- Do not apply to open wounds, second or third degree burns, skin with signs of infection, or active dermatitis.

- Avoid excessive compression that causes paleness, coldness, tingling, numbness or pain; if these signs are present, consider immediate removal and evaluation by a healthcare professional.

- Do not use as a substitute for sterile bandages in surgical procedures.

- Consult a healthcare professional for prolonged use, in diabetic patients, those with vascular problems, neuropathies, or altered sensitivity.

- Keep away from excessive moisture and heat sources.

- Discard and replace if it loses cohesion, becomes contaminated with body fluids, or shows tissue degradation.

- Avoid continued use without professional supervision in cases of chronic edema or venous thrombosis; confirm suitability before applying compression.
