Wearing a bandage that is comfortable is the most important factor when choosing a bandage for your workforce. Depending on your injury and the environment you should consider the type, shape and material. The more comfortable the bandage the more likely your employees are to wear it.
From waterproof to metal detectable, choosing the right type of bandage based on your environment can eliminate headaches as well as reduce wound stress and irritation.
Some of the most common injuries happen on areas of the skin that stretch or flex... areas such as elbows, knees, knuckles and joints. Choosing a bandage that conforms to the natural contours of your joints can ensure the bandage is more comfortable and lasts longer.
There are a variety of different materials today's bandages are constructed from. Each material poses unique features and benefits to the end user and is important to consider.
