Self-adherent wraps, also commonly known as cohesive bandages, are type of bandages that stick to themselves and not to skin and hair. They provide support for sprains and strains. Self-adherent wraps do not stretch and loosen over time like athletic bandage tape. These wraps can be applied in more layers to create more support. As a result, self-adherent wraps are highly used in the sports and fitness sectors to wrap ankle sprains and strains and secure dressings quickly. Further, Self-adherent wraps are available in different colors and sizes in the market, allowing users to choose as per their requirements. Self-adherent wraps are also available in the market in sterile and non-sterile types. The sterile self-adherent wraps have antibiotic properties and are made to resist bacteria and keep wounds clean. The sterile self-adherent wraps do not cause skin irritation and provide compression to ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows. These wraps are used on cuts and broken skin. These factors are significantly driving their demand among consumers especially athletes and sportspersons.
