Key Characteristics & Uses
  • Material & Stretch: Usually made from a cotton and spandex blend with a strong adhesive backing. It molds to the body and stretches to accommodate muscle movement. 
  • Injury Support: Commonly used to stabilize weak or sprained joints (ankles, wrists, knees) while still allowing a safe degree of mobility. 
  • Compression: Applied over muscle strains or soft tissue injuries to limit swelling and provide localized compression.
  • Dressings & Utility: Frequently used to secure wound dressings or act as an anchor/finishing tape over rigid strapping. 
Common Variations
  • Standard EAB: Tends to be thicker and highly elastic, widely used for heavy compression and dynamic joint stability.
  • Lite/Hand-Tearable EAB: Made with a lighter, tearable material. It is highly favored by clinicians and field-side physios for quick, scissor-free application. 
How to Apply
  1. Prepare the skin: Ensure the area is completely clean, dry, and free of lotions.
  2. Apply with tension: Wrap from distal to proximal (away from the heart toward the heart) to promote circulation, ensuring a 50% overlap per layer.
  3. Check for circulation: Ensure the bandage is snug but not constricting to avoid cutting off blood flow.
