Size E Elasticated Tubular Bandage is 8.75cm wide x 5m in length and is for small adult thighs, medium adult legs or large adult ankles.

The dimensions used are the flat width of the tubular bandage when lying on a flat surface. When pain and inflammation occur the use of compression reduces swelling, either prevent fluids from getting there in the first place or dispersing the fluids already there. Tubular bandages should be applied double for best support. They are often used as a bottom layer when applying plaster casts or removable splints to keep the swelling reduced.

Tubular bandages should be applied from joint below the injury to the joint above. i.e. to support and compress the elbow the tubular bandage should go from the wrist to the shoulder or to support and compress the wrist the bandage should go from the elbow to the knuckles.
