SUPPORTING PATIENTS FOR OVER 50 YEARS

Tubigrip is an elasticated, multi-purpose bandage that provides lasting, effective support with complete freedom of movement. Once applied, covered elastic threads within the fabric move to adjust to the contours of the body and distribute pressure evenly over the surface.

Uses of Tubigrip

Designed to stay securely in place, without the need for pins or tapes, Tubigrip can be used to treat a wide variety of sprains and strains, weak joints, soft tissue injuries, joint effusion, general oedema, post-burn scarring and rib-cage injuries.  It is also used for pressure dressings and arm fixation.

  • Comfortable, effective tissue support
  • Easy to apply and reapply
  • Full range of sizes to suit any part of the body
  • No pins or tapes needed
  • Washable and reusable, without losing shape
  • Choice of natural or beige colours
