Is this the tape that is used for injuries to a joint versus bandages that just hold gauze on a wound?

Yes, its used for compression, you stretch and wrap it to the desired compression, you can use it over gauze on a wound, works better than Ace bandage because it sticks to itself it stays in place and you don't need those clips. Kids like this too to cover up their bandage or cast. Usually when you have a blood draw they use a band aid, some hospitals use generic Coban with it wrapped one time with no compression. I prefer this brand, the generics are flimsy they remind me of crepe paper.

This is used to hold gauze on a wound. But I use this for wrapping areas that need compression. I do PT and focus on foot issues, generally I wrap the arch with this or around the calf area for plantar fasciitis and shin splints.

I don't think you'd want to use this for injuries to a joint. It is generally used to hold gauze on a wound. If you've had a blood draw recently they probably used it to hold the cotton on the draw point. There is a version of Coban (Coban 2, I believe) that is used to apply compression to wounds. This isn't it.

No, it does stick to itself somewhat, but it's "pre-wrap", the stuff that goes under athetic tape...like when you are taping up an ankle, you don't want to put tape directly on the skin, so you wrap it with prewrap first and then tape over that.

It is sticky but to me it was not as painful as removing a band aid or the tape that comes in a first aid kit. It will pull on the skin when pulling off. Can you wrap gauze around the hand and then tape? That way the hypafix never touches the skin and adheres great to the gauze.

No. These would be similar to an EMT item used on day to day emergencies where medical treatment us readily available. The Israel bandage is designed for combat where medical treatment may not be readily available. Much much better bandage for home your car sports etc. It will stop bleeding as designed as a compression bandage. Military life saver. Hope this helps. Tony

hello---it is a 4 inch wide gauze roll 4. yards long...it is used to go around arm,leg,foot,hand,finger etc. to hold a gauze pad in place instead of using tape. tape comes off,hurts to remove pulls hairs. gauze is far superior to use. there is no ply business it is not a gauze pad. it is a roll of gauze. do you understand what item is now ? i can't look bacvk at ad now or my post will erase. i think you get 12 rolls. and they are sterile i believe. price is cheap. give a try . you can use in place of a gauze pad as well. just wash wound soap and water. put hydrogen 3% peroxide,alcohol,betadine,antibiotic ointment,zinc oxide,johnsons and johnson first air cream or whatever you like on you wound. then wrap it with the gauze roll. then tape it with micropore tape to keep from unraveling.

I have wondered that myself. I see it for sale in our local drug store, which is a Leader Brand store and it's with human bandages and wraps. Might check with your vet or doctor on that one to be sure!

I wasn't sure so I got out the box. On the lid it states "Surgical Tape". It also states that it is Hypoallergenic. Hope this is the answer you were looking for.

Yes. I bought it for my dog when he had a shaved area on his paw from an IV. He did not pull it off, and the area healed quickly because he couldn't lick it. The bandage sticks to itself with no adhesive. I now always have a supply around.

It does not have any gauze or "pad" of any type, it is just an adhesive. I use them over my passion patch to keep it from falling off in the shower. It works well for that. I tried using it over a gauze pad once in the shower and it fell off... Too bulky, I think.

Gauze is the preference of medical professionals. Easier to pack in to a wound and much easier to clean once the patient gets to an actual medical facility. From my understanding they both are effective on stopping traumatic bleeding. Search celox on YouTube... there are a few good demonstrations.

This is a light tape but May leave some residue. I generally use it on wounds and there is some adhesive residue when I change the bandages after 24 hours. I use a Cpap and am wondering why you don t try a full face mask if you don t like a nasal mask

Yes, the tape is easy to tear. I have arthritis in my hand & I can tear it. It's similar to the cloth medical tape.

I use a surgical tape called Hy Tape-the pink tape. It seals the bandage totally, and is excellent for multiple day use.

No, the box will 10 4x4 bandages. Usually 10 can last a while because you can take a pair of scissors and cut the bandage to size. You just have to remember to leave at least an 3/4 inch (2cm) of bandage around the wound outside of the wound if it is small. So the size of the wound is important to take into consideration. The bandage must have dry skin to stick to in order to work and should surround the wound on all sides. I couldn't find a website that made this really easy to just show you out there, just medical jargon ones. But those 10 bandages, could actually be 40 depending on the size of the sore you are covering. If you are finding that they get rubbed off or develop edges quickly, just put something over it, but NOT a sticky tape! I've used wrist bands, a light wrapping using an ace bandage, and even a pantyhose to keep me from rubbing it off during sleep. You shouldn't have to change it for 3 - 4 days, and I've left them on for 7 days. What I like about these is that there is no glue covered tape like a regular bandaid type product, which usually mean the original sore was healed, but I'd have sores where the tape was stuck.

I use this tape for just about everything that needs taping/repair. I DO use it to cover small tears or holes in my screens, but if it is for a big job my opinion would be to use actual screen repair material.

No, there is not enough strength, more of a redundant adhesive for a bandage or tape.

Not really. The tape bonds to itself so by pulling it tight you can use it to seal a hole in a pipe or wrap a hose. It isn't an adhesive tape per se.
