The reliable go-to bandage for NHS trusts and emergency services throughout the UK
What is a conforming bandage? A time-tested classic, conforming bandages offer light compression and excellent flexibility and adaptability. Steroply conforming bandage is used throughout NHS hospitals for dressing retention and supporting injured joints. It's also a regular item our veterinary and animal care customers order. The lightweight bandage moulds to the body's contours, keeping out of the way of everyday activities and providing consistent protection to healing injuries.
Conforming bandage also has excellent stretch capacity, helping its application to even the most difficult of areas like knee joints, between fingers and toes, and around wrists. Use the stretchy conforming bandage to wrap injuries quickly and easily.
Made from a nylon and viscose weave, Steroply conforming stretch bandage is breathable and allows full circulation of air across the body where it's used. This aids in keeping the bandaged area clean and dry speeds up recovery, and reduces the chance of inflammation. The fray-resistant bandage will stay in great condition on the body for a long time and won't snag or begin to unravel at the edges.

How to use a Conforming Bandage
Using the Steroply White Conforming Bandage is straightforward and effective for a variety of dressing and support needs. Here is how to apply it
- Preparation: Begin by carefully unwrapping the bandage from its individual packaging to maintain sterility.
- Starting the Wrap: Hold the start of the bandage against the skin, near the wound or dressing that needs to be secured.
- Wrapping: Gently wrap the bandage around the affected area. Utilize the bandage's natural elasticity to stretch and conform to the body shape, ensuring a snug but not tight fit to avoid restricting circulation.
- Securing in Place: As you wrap, the bandage will adhere to itself. Continue wrapping, making sure each layer partially overlaps the previous one for secure placement.
- Complex Areas: When wrapping joints or areas that require movement, such as knees or elbows, allow for a comfortable bend in the joint to ensure mobility is not compromised.
- Finishing the Wrap: Once the area is fully covered and the bandage is securely in place, press down gently on the final layer to ensure it sticks to the underlying layers.
- Monitoring: Check that the bandage is not too tight and that the skin below is not turning blue or feeling numb, which could indicate restricted blood flow.
- Completion: The bandage should now be providing light support and compression while allowing the wound to breathe, promoting a clean and dry healing environment.
- Removal: When it's time to remove or change the bandage, gently peel it away from the skin, starting from the outer edge and working inwards. The self-adhering feature ensures this process is easy and pain-free.

Where can Steroply Conforming Bandage be used?
There's a wide range of uses for conforming bandages, meaning it's often found in hospitals, GP surgeries, veterinary clinics, care facilities, sports facilities, and virtually anywhere you can find a first aid kit.
Thanks to their self-adhering properties, conforming bandages are easy to apply and not painful to remove, making dressing injuries much easier and less stressful for the patient. Their elastic properties mean they stay snug and close to the body and won't sag or droop away with repeated movement. Because of this bandage conforming behaviour, it is excellent for use on joints with greater mobility and where dressing tape is likely to come loose.
Conforming bandage is used throughout the veterinary and animal care industry to dress animals' injuries or wounds thanks to its ability to stay close to the body and offer full protection despite an animal's range of movement. Our conforming bandage veterinary clients regularly order this bandage for use on animal patients like cats, dogs, and cattle. It is also used to protect and prepare animals for shipping—particularly horses with delicate legs at risk of knocks during transportation. Conforming bandage is even used on horses during exercise to protect legs and leg joints.
