Comfifast Elasticated Tubular Stretch Viscose Bandage - for X-Large Limbs, Childs Trunk, Yellow Line 10.75cm (for Limb Circumference 35-65cm) - 10m Roll

The tubular bandage can be cut to length as required, and is just what I was looking for after ankle surgery. Ideal for covering and protecting scars on the ankle and lower leg as they heal, so they don't catch against socks, footwear etc. So many of these tubular bandages seem to be of the compression type, which don't suit me at all as that type leaves marks, is too tight and worsens the swelling. Comfifast are soft and comfortable and make you feel more confident, although I would say if your lower limb tends to swell a lot during the day or after gentle exercise in the first weeks/months, go for a bigger size than you think you may need.

I wear this size, blue stripe, on my lower legs, and I am a 6ft male. When I have ulcers, it holds dressings in place. When I don't have ulcers it acts as a liner for compression stockings. Any break in the skin stains the bandage and gives me "early warning" to put a dressing on before the wound becomes a problem.Reading comments from people who hve had problems, I think that they need the next size down, the red stripe, because they seem to be using the bandage on their arms. The blue stripe works on lower legs and yellow stripe works if I want to take the bandage above the knee. I hope that is helpful.

Great value & superb quality does the job perfectly. Parcel delivered promptly as promised, Thank you for an excellent product & Great Customer Service.

There's plenty on the roll and it's great to be able to cut off exactly the size required. Good support. I found it was fine and didn't shrink, as long as you hand washed it. I'd certainly buy again.

very useful

Does the job, very pleased with purchase. Kind Regards Flick.

Need these for my swollen legs, to go under the elasticated wraps. they do the job.

I just thought this was expensive for what it is. Now I boil and wash so should last a bit longer!
