ROLL BANDAGE 5CM 5CM

About

A roll bandage, specifically 5cm in width, is a fundamental and highly adaptable medical dressing utilized for a range of applications in wound management and supportive care, particularly for smaller anatomical areas. Composed typically of a woven fabric like cotton or a synthetic blend, it comes in a rolled form for convenient dispensing and precise application. These narrower bandages are particularly useful for securing smaller dressings over minor cuts or abrasions, providing light compression to minor injuries such as finger or toe sprains, or offering delicate support to digits and smaller joints like wrists or ankles. Their compact size makes them ideal for intricate wrapping techniques, for use in pediatric care, or on areas requiring less bulk and more flexibility. The breathable nature of the material helps maintain skin integrity and comfort, making it a staple in both professional and home first aid kits.
