A compression bandage is a long strip of stretchable cloth that you can wrap around a sprain or strain. It's also called an elastic bandage or a Tensor bandage. The gentle pressure of the bandage helps reduce swelling, so it may help the injured area feel better.

Why do we use compression wrap?

Compression wraps are elastic bandages that wrap around a part of your body to keep swelling down. The wraps create pressure which pushes extra fluid out of a certain area. This improves blood flow to that part of the body and helps it heal faster.

How does compression help wound healing?

Compression therapy reduces the healing time of chronic wounds by using controlled pressure. The pressure pushes out extra fluid from the area to improve blood flow to the area. This helps to make the wound heal faster.
