Description
The Tubigrip™ Elasticated Tubular Bandage (1449) is a versatile, multi-purpose support bandage designed to provide consistent, even compression with full freedom of movement. Size B in beige is specifically suited for small hands, wrists, and arms, making it ideal for light limb support and dressing retention.
Supplied in a 10-meter roll, Tubigrip™ can be cut to the exact length required, reducing waste and improving cost efficiency. It stays securely in place without pins or tape and delivers sustained tissue support (approximately 5–30 mmHg, depending on application technique) for soft tissue injuries, edema management, and post-injury care.
