Benefits Of Using LB Grippi Tape:
A cohesive bandage is a type of bandage that adheres to itself
but doesn't adhere to other surfaces, such as the skin. The most
common use for cohesive bandages is to wrap limbs, and the bandages
can be used on both humans and animals. Cohesive bandages are commonly
found in first aid kits and can also be purchased in a variety of materials,
shapes and sizes. Cohesive bandages are used to stop bleeding, immobilize
joints, dress wounds, secure intravenous lines and keep surgical dressings
in place. They also can help to control swelling, increase circulation,
promote healing, treat ulcers and reduce inflammation.
Cohesive bandages are manufactured by knitting or weaving a combination
of cotton, polymer yarns and latex into a stretchy gauze material. The
material is lightweight, airy, durable and has great elasticity.
Securing a cohesive bandage in place usually requires the use of clips
or pins, but there are some adhesive bandages on the market that will
function without the use of any additional fasteners. The bandages also
come in a variety of colors, making them more appealing to children.
Veterinarians prefer using cohesive bandages on animals because the
material won't stick to hair or fur and can be easily removed.
