Elasticated bandages Cohesive bandages

For medical clinics, hospitals, and sports teams in Lusaka and Kitwe, having a reliable, self-adhering bandage is essential. Our Cohesive & Elasticated Bandages offer the perfect solution for support, compression, and securing dressings without the need for clips or tape. Crafted from a flexible, non-woven fabric, these bandages stick firmly to themselves but not to skin or hair, ensuring a comfortable, pain-free removal for the patient.

The elastic properties of these self-adhesive bandages provide excellent, consistent compression for sprains and strains, promoting faster recovery and reducing swelling. Meanwhile, their cohesive nature makes them incredibly easy to apply, even one-handed. This feature is particularly useful for wrapping joints or hard-to-reach areas. Our product comes in a mix of sizes (8 rolls per pack), making it a versatile addition to any medical kit.

It’s important to note that these cohesive bandages are non-sterile and are intended for external use only. Use them over a sterile dressing for wound care or directly on intact skin for support and compression. With their ease of use, superior grip, and comfort, these bandages are a top choice for healthcare professionals and athletic trainers across Zambia.
