Comfifast Elasticated Viscose Tubular Stretch Bandage - for X-Large Limbs, Childs Trunk, Yellow Line 10.75cm (for Limb Circumference 35-65cm) - 5m Length

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.

Good quality & feels very supportive when on! I used this for my upper & lower leg!

10 metres long and coming in a handy dispensing box, this elasticated tubular bandage is reasonable quality for the price, though I found it to be too thin to give proper compression and support. I think this one would be more suited to use as an over-wrap to keep other dressings in place or as a general protective cover for arms or lower legs. Given five stars for the length, making it good value overall at the price, rather than effectiveness.

Good stuff I need for my ulcers and it does what it says.

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.

Able to cut to desired length, it’s a bit expensive but you get a lot for your money. it’s very stretchy with no compression, it held my wound pads in place before putting on compression socks. They machine wash very well, I do find that once washed the ends can sometimes fray a bit.

Value for money

Does the job, but arrived with box open and one end of roll spilling out. The least you want from something medical is that it arrives clean, but feel I have been sent something second hand
