How to Use the Option+ Elastic Bandage

Application Instructions

Proper application of the Option+ Elastic Bandage is crucial for optimal support and healing. Following these steps will help ensure the bandage is effective:

1. Preparation: Clean and dry the injured area. Position the bandage below the injury, ensuring the starting point is slightly distal (further away from the body's core) from the injury site.
2. Wrapping: Begin wrapping the bandage around the affected area, overlapping each layer by about half the width of the bandage. Maintain consistent pressure, wrapping firmly but not too tightly.
3. Compression: Ensure the bandage is snug but not constricting. You should be able to easily slide a finger between the bandage and your skin. Avoid wrapping too tightly, as this can restrict blood flow and cause discomfort.
4. Securing: Fasten the bandage securely using the provided clips or the hook and loop closure. Check the bandage periodically to ensure it remains in place and is not too tight or loose.

Care and Maintenance

Longevity and Reusability

To maximize the lifespan of your Option+ Elastic Bandage and ensure its continued effectiveness, proper care is essential. Here are some recommendations for cleaning and maintenance:

• Cleaning: Hand wash the bandage in cold water with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, as these can damage the elastic fibers.
• Drying: Air dry the bandage flat. Do not use a machine dryer or place it near a heat source, as this can degrade the elasticity.
• Storage: Store the bandage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain the bandage's elasticity and prevents it from drying out.
• Reusability: Inspect the bandage regularly for wear and tear. Replace it if the elasticity is lost, if the material frays, or if it becomes soiled. Do not reuse a bandage on open wounds or if it has been exposed to bodily fluids.
