Size C Elastic Tubular Support Bandage, 2.75″ x 33 ft

Size C is a small-to-medium size for arms and slim ankles: 2.75 inches wide laid flat, on a continuous 33 foot roll, fitting a circumference of 9–13.5″ (23–34 cm). It is used for forearms, small ankles, elbows and children's knees.

Finding the right size

Measure around the widest part of the area you want to cover, then check that number falls between 9–13.5″. Measure the body part, not the bandage, and measure while any swelling is present — that changes the figure considerably. If a dressing will sit underneath, allow for the extra bulk. Between two sizes, the smaller gives firmer support and the larger gives more room.

How it works

A tubular elastic support bandage is a seamless knitted tube. You cut the length you need and slide it on like a sleeve, so there is no tape on the skin, no clips and no pins to work loose. The knit applies even pressure right around the covered area instead of the ridges you get from wrapping, and it moves with the joint rather than restricting it.

What it is used for

Support after sprains and strains, help with swelling, holding a dressing in place without adhesive, gentle cover for soft tissue once a cast comes off, and everyday support at home. It is not a sterile wound dressing — use an appropriate dressing underneath when one is needed.

Material and care

An 80% cotton and 20% elastic knit. The open structure lets air through, so it stays comfortable through a full day rather than trapping heat. Machine washable and made to be reused; air drying is gentler on the elastic than a tumble dryer. Replace it when it no longer returns to shape.

What you get

One continuous 33 foot roll of Size C, plus a pair of bandage shears so it is usable the moment it arrives. Free shipping anywhere in the United States, dispatched within one to three business days.
