Adhesive tape does not work on hairy skin, wet skin, or skin that has been contaminated with blood or antiseptic. A conforming bandage does. The Conforming Bandage is the lightweight, stretchy gauze wrap used to hold wound dressings, ice packs, and splints in place over joints and limbs when tape is not an option — wrapping smoothly over contours without bunching, without restricting movement, and without requiring adhesive contact with the skin.

Non-adhesive, breathable, latex-free, and available in 5cm and 7.5cm widths to suit different limb sizes and applications. The standard dressing retention bandage in every compliant workplace first aid kit — and the item that makes the difference between a dressing that stays in place and one that does not.

• Holds dressings, ice packs, and splints in place without adhesive The conforming bandage wraps over a wound dressing, ice pack, or splint and holds it in position through movement without requiring tape on the skin. Essential when the wound site or surrounding skin is wet, hairy, contaminated, or sensitive — situations where adhesive tape fails or is inappropriate. The secure wrap also prevents dressing shift during patient movement and transport.
• Elastic and conforming — wraps joints and limbs without bunching The elastic stretch allows the bandage to follow the contour of joints and limbs without bunching or creating pressure points. Conforms to elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists — the high-movement areas where a rigid or non-conforming bandage would restrict movement or lift away from the surface. Lightweight and breathable for comfortable extended wear.
• Available in 5cm and 7.5cm widths — select the right size for the application The 5cm width suits fingers, wrists, and smaller limb applications. The 7.5cm width suits ankles, forearms, and most standard adult limb applications. Select the width that provides adequate coverage of the dressing being secured — a bandage that is too narrow requires more wrapping passes and is less secure than the correct width applied correctly.
• Latex-free, non-adhesive, WHS compliant — included in standard kit restock packs Latex-free for use across all skin types. Non-adhesive — no residue on skin or dressing on removal. WHS compliant and included as standard in our Type A and Type B workplace restock packs. Secure the end with tape or a bandage clip — clip not included. Ships from Dubbo, NSW within 2 business days.
