How To Use Medical Bandage?

Medical bandages are divided into cotton gauze bandages and elastic bandages. Whether it is a gauze bandage or an elastic bandage, its purpose is mainly to bandage or fix.

Cotton gauze bandage: It is mainly used for bandaging and fixing after external wound dressing in-hospital surgery and family.

Elastic bandage: It is mainly used for retention bandaging of patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities and orthopedics to improve blood circulation and prevent swelling of the limbs. It can also replace the multi-head abdominal band after surgery and can be used for compression bandaging of different parts of the human body or general wound bandaging. The polymer bandages commonly used in hospitals are now elastic bandages. Sichenbonny polymer bandage is made of glass fiber cloth (or polyester fiber cloth) coated with synthetic polyurethane glue and then rolled into a roll with a reel. There are two kinds of material, namely glass fiber bandage and polyester bandage.
