How to Use Option+ Elastic Bandage
Application Instructions
Proper application is essential for the bandage's effectiveness. Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Preparation: Ensure the area is clean and dry. Position the affected limb comfortably.
- Wrapping: Start wrapping the bandage distal to the injury (further away from the heart), overlapping each layer by about half the width of the bandage. Maintain consistent tension throughout the wrapping process.
- Compression: Apply even pressure, ensuring the bandage is snug but not too tight. You should be able to comfortably insert a finger under the edge.
- Securing: Secure the bandage with the provided clips, or use the self-adhering feature. Ensure it is neither too loose nor too tight to avoid any complications.
Care and Maintenance
Maintain proper use of the bandage for best results.
- Check circulation: make sure the bandage is not too tight (check for signs of restricted circulation - numbness, tingling).
- Re-apply daily: Replace bandage and check the skin beneath it daily.
- Clean with mild soap and water.
