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

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.

very useful

This is lovely and soft and is used as single layer for exczema on back of legs. HOWEVER, with emollient used as first defence it needs washing. Even following a very gentle handwash and air dried, this bandage SHRINKS by a 1/4 in length. Allow for this when cutting lengths.

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.

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

I bought the Yellow Line, which was advertised as being 10.75cm width.My concerns were that the hospital had issued me with Tubifast Yellow Line, of which I've nearly run out of now, and that was measuring at 12.5cm wide.This also measures at 12.5cm wide, and seems just as good! (See picture).I'm very pleased with this purchase.

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