A tubular bandage is a tube-shaped bandage mainly worn over an extremity like arms, elbows, wrists, ankles, knees, and thighs or on fingers or toes. It is comfortable to wear and supports the soft tissues around the wound. The bandage fits snugly over the dressing on the affected limb and does not require pins, tape, or other fastenings. Tubular elastic bandages provide 360-degree uniform compression and support and help prevent edema, treat lymphedema, and reduce post-burn scarring. The tubular bandage may need to be cut to a small size before placing it over an injury. A tube bandage is multifunctional and is used for a wide variety of applications, including:
