Elastic Bandage Wrap (12 Pcs) | Strong Compression With Our Hook & Loop Closure | 3"x5 Yds Compression Bandage | First Aid Bandages Supply for Wound Care, Swelling, Soreness of Joints

Husband had foot surgery and we had to change the bandage every day. These saved my sanity. Easy to use, plenty long enough for the foot and easy to store in a box.

These where exactly what I need after my husband had foot surgery.

They worked for a few uses, the fabric itself is very comfortable. The problem I had with them was that 1) the velcro was too stiff/firm and though it didn't adhere super well it somehow still managed to shred the elastic band, pulling up pieces and fraying it. 2) the elastic started separating (getting runs) similar to nylon stockings after only a few hours of use (not even pulled that tight). If you get these be sure to use either compression stockings or self adhesive wrap or something between this and the skin to avoid discomfort from the overly thick and stiff velcro at the bottom layer. I have found I prefer other brands more.

I use ace type wraps daily after a partial foot amputation surgery to help keep the wound dressing in place. Because of the daily use the cheaper quality wraps (like the ones from the hospital) lose their elasticity and become more of a Tourniquet than a bandage. These are much higher quality as far as the wrap part of the bandage. The book & loop (aka Velcro) closures on both ends of the bandage hold very well, unfortunately the strip of velcro is held to the bandage with a self adhesive backing. This sticker like backing has failed on every bandage. I have sewn back on the Velcro strips because as I mentioned the quality of the bandage itself is excellent. They have held up to multiple uses and washing since my modification. As far as the value of this product, you can't go wrong.

The elastic bandage meet the purpose for a "stop the bleed" kits. Several were prepared as part of a training program. However, the bandage was re-rolled to have the velcro at the end, rather than the beginning of the bandage. This allowed the bandage to be put in place and then held in place with the velcro. On returning to Amazon to reorder the product, it was not available.

All bandages made from this material tend to become frayed and deformed pretty quickly. These are decent, so I recommend them for first aid use, not for repeated, long term wear.

As a former EMT I can say that these are fantastic elastic bandages however in order to make them work at their fullest potential the elastic should be positioned on the other side of the Roll. if the elastic were positioned on the other side of the roll it would allow you to easilly roll the bandage onto the wound.

I do not have a current need for these bandages; I bought them to have in the medicine box "just in case." They seem to be a good value for the price. They are appropriately stretchy and I like the velcro attachments. The true test of any bandage is how it holds its stretch over time, to which I cannot comment.
