Elastic bandages are used to provide a fairly uniform or even and localized consistent compression of injured limbs and joints in the treatment of joint sprains, muscle/tendon strains, and contusions to restrict blood flow into the injured area, thus reducing swelling while providing some support to the injured area. The compressive characteristic of the elastic bandage helps prevent the buildup of lymph fluids and maintain waste transport out of the injured site. Effective in providing the needed compression for the management of acute and chronic lymphedema, edema, and venous insufficiency.
Further, elastic bandages are also used to position and stabilize splints. Because of their elastic nature they can be stretched and conformed to virtually every body part or joint.
