Elastic adhesive bandage (EAB) is a stretchy and flexible adhesive tape intended for strapping around soft tissues and joints. When applied with some stretch, EAB will provide quite a firm compression to the area. However, when wrapping all the way around a limb, avoid applying it too tightly as this can cause constriction and affect circulation. If you notice any swelling or discoloration has developed in the area around the strapping tape, remove it immediately. Because EAB stretches and flexes it will move with your body. This property makes it great for functional sports taping. EAB is a strong elastic, adhesive bandage made from latex-free woven cotton and zinc- oxide. Great for everyday use and strong enough to withstand the demands of physical activity. EAB is highly versatile and it can be used for compression, as a bandage, strong joint support, or relief dressing for contusions. Specifically designed to support a weak joint and used as a compression bandage.
