Blue Coban Self-Adherent Wrap is designed to provide you with a self-closing elastic wrap that will not adhere to the skin or other materials. Made from a laminate of nonwoven material and elastic fibers, this blue wrap securely holds in place as it provides light support to the area and is available in three sizes for your convenience.

Features:

    • Ideal for use as an elastic wrap to provide compression or support, or to secure dressings or devices
    • Made from laminate of non-woven material with elastic fibers
    • Color: blue
    • Self-adherent – only sticks to itself, not skin or other materials
    • Holds securely in place
    • Can be cut to desired length
    • Lightweight and breathable
    • Non-sterile, contains latex

      This cohesive bandage can be used in a variety of applications. One of the most recognized uses is following a blood donation. This self-adherent wrap is used to keep the gauze securely in place as it applies pressure to the area, helping to stop the bleeding. The Blue Coban Self-Adherent wrap can also be used in conjunction with the unna boot and other compression bandages or devices that need to be securely held with a lightweight wrap. Because it does not stick to anything other than itself, this cohesive wrap is an easy to use, multi-purpose option for healthcare professionals everywhere.

      Directions for Use:

      • 1. Unwind approximately 12 inches of Coban self-adherent wrap from the roll and allow the wrap to relax.
      • 2. Without stretching, apply one full wrap and overlap. Press overlapped area lightly to keep the end in place.
      • 3. Proceed with wrapping, applying tension to the wrap only to obtain desired compression. Always unwind more Coban self-adherent wrap from the roll before making a wrap so that the product is not applied with too much tension.
      • 4. When application is complete, cut off excess.

      FAQs about Coban Wraps
      • What is a Coban Wrap Used For?

        Coban Wraps are versatile self-adhesive bandages popular for: Securing dressings or IVs Compression therapy for swelling, sprains, or strains Supporting joints, muscles, and ligaments Post-operative and sports injury care Lymphedema and edema reduction Holding splints in place Protecting wounds from contamination

      • How Does Coban Bandage Stay in Place?

        Coban bandages adhere by bonding to themselves—not to skin, hair, or clothing—ensuring a snug fit without sticky adhesives or fasteners.

      • How Tight Should a Coban Wrap Be?

        Apply Coban with gentle, overlapping wraps—firm but not tight enough to cut off circulation. You should be able to slip a fingertip under the edge. Over-tight wrapping can cause numbness or tingling.

      • How Long Can a Coban Wrap Stay On?

        Coban wraps are generally worn for up to 24–48 hours at a time, or until soiled or wet. Always follow your doctor’s or nurse’s instructions for frequency of changes.

      • When to Remove Coban?

        If the bandage becomes wet, dirty, or loosens If you experience numbness, color change, or tingling After 24–48 hours, or as directed by your healthcare provider

      • Can Coban Wrap Be Reused?

        Coban wraps are designed for single-use only. Reusing may compromise sterility and adhesion.

      • Is Coban a Pressure Bandage?

        Yes, Coban can function as a gentle pressure bandage for bleeding control, swelling, or support, but is not suitable for heavy bleeding or as a substitute for rigid casts.

      • When Should You Not Use Coban?

        Do not use Coban on: Open, deep wounds without a sterile dressing Areas with poor circulation (peripheral vascular disease) Anyone with a latex allergy (if unsure of the bandage content) Directly on fragile skin without padding

      • Can You Shower With Coban On?

        Coban is water-resistant, not waterproof. Short showers are possible, but wrap should be changed if soaked.

      • Can You Put Coban Directly on a Wound?

        No. Never place Coban directly on an open wound. Apply a sterile dressing or gauze pad first, then cover with Coban for securement and compression.

      • Can Coban Cut Off Circulation?

        Yes, if applied too tightly. Watch for paleness, coldness, or numbness beyond the bandaged area.

      • How to Properly Apply Coban?

        Start wrapping at the narrowest part of the limb, using 50% overlap. Stretch gently—do not pull tightly. Secure the end by pressing it to itself. Check circulation frequently.

      • Is Nexcare the Same as Coban?

        Nexcare makes similar cohesive self-adherent wraps with comparable features. Check for latex content and adhesion properties.

      • What Can I Use Instead of Coban?

        Alternatives include: Nexcare self-adhering wraps Elastic bandage (Ace wrap) Gauze and medical tape (less stable) Tubular bandage

      • When to Stop Compression Bandage?

        Stop use when: Swelling has resolved Instructed by your healthcare provider Signs of impaired circulation occur

      • Can Coban Be Used for Lymphedema?

        Yes, Coban is a top-choice for gentle, flexible compression in lymphedema management. Always use under professional supervision.

      • How Long to Keep Coban on After IV?

        Usually leave Coban in place for 1–2 hours post-IV removal or as directed by your care provider to reduce bleeding and bruising.

      • Is Coban Wrap Latex-Free?

        Most Coban products are latex-free, but always check packaging to ensure suitability for sensitive patients.
