Tubular Bandage

The tubular bandage is a seamless, cylindrical bandage made from elasticated fabric, typically cotton, polyester, or a blend of materials, designed to provide support and compression to injured or weakened areas of the body. Unlike flat bandages, its tube-like structure allows it to be slipped over limbs or other body parts, such as arms, legs, fingers, or even the torso, without the need for tying or clipping. 

Tubular bandages come in various sizes to fit different body areas and are often used to secure dressings, reduce swelling (e.g., in cases of edema), or support strains and sprains. They are stretchy, breathable, and comfortable, offering uniform pressure while allowing some movement. In medical settings, they may be applied with a special applicator for ease and precision, making them a practical choice for both first aid and ongoing care.
