Double-headed Bandage

It has two ends; its width and application method are roughly the same as roller bandage.

 

Three-headed bandages

⑴ Triangular bandage: Made of natural cotton cloth, cut diagonally from a 1-meter strip of cloth with equal sides to create two large triangular bandages. Cutting the triangular bandage from the top to the center of the base creates two smaller triangular bandages. Depending on their location, they are named as: apex, base, and left and right points. They are mostly used for supporting and suspending the hand and forearm.
⑵ T-bandage: Used to secure perineal dressings and elevate the scrotum.

 

Multi-headed bandages

Common types include:
⑴ Four-headed bandage: Made by cutting a rectangular piece of cotton or gauze from both ends;
⑵ Chest bandage: Used to secure chest dressings or increase pressure;
⑶ Abdominal bandage: Used to secure abdominal dressings.

 

Self-adhesive elastic bandage

Description: Self-adhesive elastic bandages are made from a material composed of pure cotton or elastic non-woven fabric coated with natural rubber, spun and cut. They are used for clinical external fixation and bandaging, and can also be used to protect joints such as the wrist and ankle during exercise.

 

Sports Protective Bandages

Primarily designed for various applications such as sports protection, medical bandaging, and medical immobilization. Utilizing imported medical-grade adhesive, these bandages are designed to prevent slippage and offer strong elasticity and stretch.
